RR DNS with multiple VIPs as Jarno showed is quite common, as it provides both load balancing and fault tolerance. Other people use ECMP and load balance on the front switch. It's a little trickier as you need a way to tell the switch that you're there or not (typically via a dynamic routing daemon). But that scales better. Also, since you say that you're using virtual machines and a single instance will not stand the load, you can also deploy a real machine in front of your VMs, then get rid of the useless VMs once you migrate their whole configuration into the single real machine.
