We do this though. We have a pair of servers acting as front end proxies. Each server has two HA addresses - one server is the master on one HA address, the other server master on the other. Each server also has all the public IPs we intend to serve on the loopback interface. This allows httpd to bind to the correct IP addresses on each box. Our edge routers forward traffic for those public IPs in a round robin format via the two HA addresses. If either server is down, the request is handled by the other server, due to the magic of HA. The technologies we use here: All servers run FreeBSD. Round robin load balancing happens by PF (I think). We use CARP addresses for HA - FreeBSD version of VRRP. I'm afraid I only know the architectural design of our system; I can't help you with specifics - I leave all the network bits to the network team. You can of course do similar things with any number of commercial load balancers, like an F5 or a BigIP.
