Well, you can use round-robin DNS which means that for the hostname you'll assign two IP addresses. You just assign multiple A records for the hostname.
Sometimes the answer is so simple you just don't see it! Would this *just* provide fault tolerance (if one card goes down, it gives the next IP)? i.e. not load balance. Or does it alternate which IP it gives out to the client issuing the request?
