Or, do as they do at the University of Copenhagen, on one of their SP
clusters (paralell computing cluster):
<A HREF="http://www.sp2.uni-c.dk/iss.html">http://www.sp2.uni-c.dk/iss.html</A>
[Snipped some]
This load-balancing feature is provided by an SP2 software component
called Interactive Session Support (ISS). The ISS continually monitors
the CPU-load on the SP2 nodes that are dedicated to interactive work.
ISS dynamically modifies the DNS nameserver configuration file (once
every few seconds) for the SP2 computer system's domain (sp2.uni-c.dk)
in such a way that the DNS name any.sp2.uni-c.dk always corresponds to
the IP-address of the least loaded node. The official name for the
SP2, JENSEN.uni-c.dk, is an alias for any.sp2.uni-c.dk. ...
