hi there fritz,
you can use lvs for this! http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/
for a more balanced distribution of load, you can set it to probe which of the
nodes are available, and decide where to forward requests based on the nodes'
loads.

we at qlinux would be glad to implement this for you,
in exchange for a small favor...
like bringing us along in some of the photo shoots of FHM ???
