Local director works quite well as long as you don't have any session
sharing requirements. Anything using session sharing requirements will
offer less performance than a round robin approach.

I'm a free-software proponent but pay special attention to the
quality of your JVM.
You may not be able to get a decent Java 2 implementation for Linux.
In which case I would recomend that you use Solaris since HotJava for
Solaris is very quick indeed.
You can still run Apache (if that is the case) of course.
I'd also recomend that you use a free-software servlet engine, eg:
Tomcat.
