I'm not sure what you're on?
I don't know anything about Logic Node or XGrid, but I know enough for your use of Dual-gigE + routers that you're not clued up.

It says I must fsync the directory, and nothing in Posix even says it's possible to open() or fsync() a directory; you have to use opendir().)

The "Single Unix Specification" you mentioned says you can open() a directory with O_SEARCH, too. MacOS doesn't have that.
Either way, I expect you'll be able to fsync() that fd; that's all you need.

If Dual-GigE solves your problems, then you're not talking about routers; You're talking switches. GigE switches arn't expensive now. The first URL I hit on Google: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000E5S
