Why not make it time sensitive or random. Not proficient in javascript so
here's some pseudo-code.
If even(time.second) { proxy 1.2.3.4:3128; proxy 1.2.3.5:3128} else {
proxy 1.2.3.5; proxy 1.2.3.4:3128}
Or based on a random number
if even(random()) ......
You could divide the random numbers up into different groups if your had
more than 2 servers
