Anotherway to do this, is to send the client an "redirect" message.  When client connect to 127.0.0.10, instead of
acceptingthe connection, it can reply to client telling it to reconnect to one of the server on 127.0.0.11-14.  
 

One common way to do that is to set up one DNS entry for those 4 IP
addresses.
