well you can't have 100% redudancy without a virtual ip or bgp. so basically glb-director is the same as just using haproxy + bgp. (bgp can basically do anycast/ecmp multipath really easily. well you still need redudant network routers.)

BGP (really ECMP) doesn't handle failures gracefully; that's the benefit of GLB.
