Does this mean that if we add an additional host then we would need to add four more addresses? If so that wouldn't work since we would require additional public IP addresses.

Well, this is another reason I was looking at Squid. That way our clients all hit the Squid server which then takes on the task of delegating client request to one of n webservers using DNS round-robin. Unfortunately, I haven't made much progress with Squid, but I am hoping that if the documentation isn't too misleading that it could solve the problem.
