Although there maybe a better way, this would work:
1. Add the IP's into your sip.conf and set qualify=yes.
2. Make your dialplan something like the following:
exten => _X.,1,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
exten => _X.,2,Hangup
exten => _X.,102,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
exten => _X.,103,Hangup
exten => _X.,203,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
exten => _X.,204,Hangup
exten => _X.,304,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
exten => _X.,305,Hangup
This would make your failover work but certainly wouldn't help with the load
balancing between the servers. If any cannot qualify or are congested, they
will automatically failover to the next server.
I believe most people use an SER proxy for this type of application. It
seems to work well with the round robin type DNS.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Connecting to a cluster of SIP servers
My Asterisk server is connecting to "sip.plus.net", which resolves to
multiple IP addresses:
sip.plus.net. 300 IN A 84.92.0.75
sip.plus.net. 300 IN A 84.92.0.76
sip.plus.net. 300 IN A 84.92.5.189
sip.plus.net. 300 IN A 84.92.5.190
If one of these machines is down (i.e. it's not replying to the SIP
packets or it's sending back ICMP Port Unreachable), Asterisk keeps trying
the same server. Shouldn't Asterisk move on to the next server
automatically in this case? It seems to only way to do this at the moment
is to run the "reload" command, which causes it to do a DNS lookup and it
may then pick one of the other servers.
