OK.

One more question. Now, the director and backend server are running on  the
same servers, I set it up according to
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/RunningDovecot#Running_Multiple_Invocations_of_Dovecot
. The question is how to use doveadm to manage the different instances? I
know there is dovecot -c , but how about doveadm?

In normal operation the user is always redirected to the same server.
http://blog.dovecot.org/2010/05/new-director-service-in-v20-for-nfs.html
has some more details.

If you have enough connections, it shouldn't matter that the connections
aren't constantly going to random backends. In practice they get
distributed well enough.
