A quick and dirty way to spread the load would be to mirror the site onto
a second box, using rsync to keep the two sets of content identical, then
just provide the IPs of both boxes in the DNS setup for the site.  The DNS
would hand out alternate IPs, so each box should see about half the
requests.  This could also spread the traffic as well as provide
redundancy over two links, if you have multiple feeds.
