Yes I am talking about the Internet, not an Intranet. Thanks for all 
your replies, especially Brian, they've helped me see more clearly what 
the options are. I'd already given up on Round Robin or any other kind 
of DNS 'solution' before I posted, after reading this:

I don't think the difficulties and expense of getting an AS number and 
setting up BGP to work with our ISP will be worth it, but I'm not sure - 
what steps exactly are involved in doing that?
