If you only talk about browsing (via squid) than another option
is to cheat via DNS:
  - Each server has its own IP
  - One name is mapped to either of them

One package that may give some initial help with this is pdnsd:
  - It is a proxy DNS for poor networks (e.g: dialup).
  - You can configure it with multiple servers.
  - You can configure it to check connectivity via
    several mechanims (ping, dns query, user specified program/script, etc.)

So it may be part of the solution.

Cheers,
