What are possibilities for balalnce load in Linux? For example I have 3

Usually this is done with rotation in ip-address served from DNS, which
will in the long run see to a quite even load on the servers.

Round-robin DNS load balancing is done by default with bind (most DNS
servers).

Check out http://freshmeat.net and search for load-balancers. Lots of cool stuff there.
