As You see, there are 3 exactly same copies of one branch that demand load balancing.
lvs (http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/) is a good solutions, and it also scale very well to big numbers (of users/pages and servers too).
if you want you may use more instance of lvs, one to balance the proxies, one for the apache and another for the mysql.
you will get better balancing then dns roundrobin and more availability as if one server goes down then the balancer can automatically put it out of the balancing.
