Well, load balancers are an option.
So you use the load-balancing service. That's what it's for.
Hmm, I'll answer my own question - you mean has a load-balancer built in, don't you?
Aren't most people running a load-balancer in front nowadays?
HAProxy does health checks. Might not be worth adding that inline for your needs but it does a good job of load balancing.
Use HAProxy, this is what it is designed for.
I am not a webdev, but isn't that a task for the loadbalancer in the first place?
Maybe just run your own instance as a load balancer?
Seems simpler to do this at the load balancer level. That way you can use the same strategy for any type of application.
They likely have layer 7 load balancing sending different paths to different servers.
