LocalDirector vs. Round Robin

Hello,

Cisco's LocalDirector has special configuration possiblity
to fix a client/cache relationsship for a certain time to not break
certain applications (like http forms or ftp with several ls/cd).
How is this handled without LocalDirector but with DNS round robin?

Another question: Is it wise to run a squid cache server on 1 Redundant Server
(We are considering a SUN10000, although I think this can be done with
something smaller like SUN4000 in a cluster). Where is the bottleneck when used
in an international gateway (country caching). CPU? Memory? Disk Space?

Thank you,

Anas
