Cisco routers can load balance proxies using Cisco's WCCP protocol. There is also a relatively new NECP protocol that allows switches/routers/others to balance servers/proxies. Both WCCP and NECP include health checks as well. You might want to look at these technologies before implementing your ideas. Alex.
