Depends on what you refer to by load balancing.. This will make server1
get cache hits from the server which answered first, and most cache misses
will be sent via server2.

If there never is any other traffic on server3/server4 there will never be
any cache on these and there will never be any cache hits to get from
them..

You could set up all three as round-robin parents. This is probably closer
to what you want.
