Different installations want to use features in different ways. I can’t make everyone happy, so I try to keep everything as configurable as possible. Director + poolmon should work for what you want to do. I don’t see a problem with poolmon being a separate script. The company who initially paid for the director feature specifically didn’t want me to implement anything like poolmon, because they had their own and wanted to use it.
