What might help you is the attached bit of code, it is a small hack on
the ProxyPass directive which allows you to list a series of servers
and/or use multiple DNS entries, i.e.

	ProxyPass /	http://mda00.jrc.it http://mda01.jrc.it

Just un-tar apache 1.3.0 and do

	cd apache_1.3.0/src
	patch < mprox.pthc

In the background it uses a (slow!) snmp enquiry to get a some load metric
(from a URL, in simple text format)), and dispatches the call to the
'right' server. These deamons can be on the same machine (on different
ports) or anywhere else you can point at with a URL.
