i use sipsak.  latest monit beta is also capable of testing openser
using sip (at least in a simple way).

i don't use ldirector and don't even know what it is, but if it is a
load balancer that you want to front end your opensers with, then you
have to make sure that it itself is not a single point of failure.

and if your loadbalancer routes sip requests rather that ip requests,
then you need to monitor the loadbalancer using sip requests.  checking
that loadbalancer answers to pings or that the loadbalancer process is
alive is not enough.

now i guess you start to see how complicated things really get.
