You'll need to have three IPs bound to your server and then you'll most likely want to do this in your scripts...should be pretty easy to write a function that randomly selects one of three source IPs and then connects out via that IP. Unless I've misunderstood the situation? If so, can you be more specific with exactly how you have this set up? What language is it written in?

As for distributing users across several servers have you considered using a load balancer?

You can link 3 IP's to one domain (simple DNS stuff) but I'm not sure if you can just have the user automatically pick one of them at random, never heard of that being done

Just a thought - How about having three nameservers/DNS where each one will resolve to different IP's ? AFAIK, ISP's query any of the listed nameservers in no specific order and so you can have some sort of randomization there.
