Basically, you just need to run multiple instances of your Django web-application. I've never used Apache for this (I'm an Nginx + uWSGI fan, myself) but you'd just run multiple worker processes and your WSGI handler should "balance" between them.
Like the others mentioned, make sure to use a common cache like Memcache.
