Are you trying to get users to the server closest to them or just distribute load randomly amongst your different geographically located servers?
If you are wanting to send folks to server for their country or define which server location handles defined countries then you should look at GeoDNS options for BIND and PDNS. Both have addons to do this. Wikipedia uses such a solution.
