I would like to serve multiple web applications and make them available via domain names inside of a test network. Therefore I would like to to use PowerDNS because it seems to have a good API. The web applications will be accessed by a small cluster of crawlers.
I picture to run the same web application with the same domain name on two servers for load balancing. Can PowerDNS point to the server with less load or do I need another piece of software to achieve this? What do I need to look for? Something like "HTTP Load balancer"? And how would such a software work together with the DNS?

It helped me to read about the different Load Balancing solutions (DNS, Hardware, Software). Thank you Silent-Bob for pointing out that the sessions should be considered.
