Two ways:

a) DNS round robin
   Put up a second entry for the web server's host name with another
        IP address. If the client behaves correctly (which it often enough
        does not) this should work.
b) Use a hardware load balancer
   Take some hardware as a Foundry ServerIron and distribute the
        web server queries to the different web servers.

If you plan something really big there are specialised hardware
appliances which do "web switching". Large e-businness companies use
these.
