DNS round robin is probably one of the poorest solutions you can pick. 
You will likely get unfair loadbalancing. Remember that clients will likely
cache DNS entries.

There are other solutions which will provide better loadbalancing. Linux
virtual server or sleipner or something.

You might want to look into to QoS/traffic control to put your
bandwidth to better use (if you are not allready doing this). The
place to start is the linux advanced routing howto.
