Hi Remy,

I agree the DNS server could do the balancing here. But to be more
precise DNS is more appropriate in Load-Balancing the other kind of
services like SMTP, WEB etc.

What I recommend is a router capable of web-traffic redirection like
WCCP in Cisco routers.

May be if you want to know more about WCCP. This URL

let you know how it works.
