Answer 1

Redirect might work for you:

Also you could try using a proxy server:

or load balancing server:

Answer 2

You have to have a separate load balancer in front of your servers.

Also, if you need application sessions, then you will need to move application state out of process - to SQL Server or to ASP.NET State Service, so different servers will share the session state.
