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.
