ldirectord requires no extra packages to build on RHEL. It just a perl script.
You may be concerned about the running environment;  it requires perl-MailTools
at least which can be obtained only from EPEL or CentOS extras, but
ldirectord users
have been already doing to collect such packages when they want to use it.

I can provide a patch to the spec file if it's ok to build.

Note that the (linux-ha) resource-agents should have been completely independent
from libnet as of 1.0.4. Before that IPv6addr RA was the only
dependency of libnet.

Thanks,
