DNS doesn't play particularly nice when you try and load balance it. You end up, essentially with issues with end users caching particular ip addresses and either failing when they shouldn't or causing load imbalances on particular servers that you can't seem to fix.

You probably want to have an external dns host returning two ip addresses for a haproxy or LVS cluster, which you then route into your actual web tier.
