[Gllug] load balancing ip's

I have a static ip, port 80 and I want to load balance the traffic across
multiple hosts.  Ordinarily, something like round-robin dns would be
perfect, but in this case dns isn't an option.

For reasons beyond my control, the domain must resolve to exactly 1 ip
address.  Not fussed about complex load balancing tricks, just want an easy
way to split the load across multiple servers.

Can it be done with iptables? I know you can use that to NAT 1 ip -> 1 ip,
but can you do 1 ip -> many ip?

What's the best/easiest solution?
