I am building a WCF Service, and for optimum connectivity for the users, I was going to run it on 3 or 4 servers on different internet connections. How would I setup the client to connect to the service, either select one by random, or a designated server. If its the former, if the service is down for whatever reason, can it automatically move onto the next one?
If you want to do it without purchasing a hardware based load balancer, you can do this via Windows Network Load Balancing, your clients will point to a virtual IP which will be distributed to multiple servers inside your network. There are many load balancing solutions that come at a price, but this one can be accomplished given you have a windows infrastructure with a couple of servers.
