I think you also have to specify weather your web applications are state-less or not. If stateless, then you can just use DNS Round Robin technique or lbnamed (Load Balancing Name Server) to achieve this load balancing or high availability.
If your apps are statefull as in ASP, Cold Fusion, JSP, etc, then you'll need to retain the sessions and that becomes more complicated but possible.
