By default no traffic is balanced at all.  All packets that arrive will be 
sended out as fast as possible and in the same order.
But you can use SFQ that will give each flow (combination of ip-address and 
port) the same chance to transmit something.

If I understand correctly, you want to give each ip-address the same rights.  
There is no qdisc or filter who can do it automatically (the wrr qdisc can do 
this but I never tried it ou).  If there are not to many ip-address, you can 
create for each one a class (with CBQ or HTB).  Each class holds the traffic 
of 1 ip-address and each class will have the same rights to transmit 
something.
