Just saw this, not sure if this still helps: As John Osmon said, many UDP services don't need state - for instance DNS servers. Those you can set up as an anycast server where all the servers get the same IP address on a loopback interface, and then you enter multiple routes into the upstream routers to point at the servers. This is often done by running a small BGP or OSPF daemon on each server which announces the IP addresses for the service it is handling and which is set up to withdraw the routes if the server is broken.
For other services which need more sophisticated load balancing other than "shove this packet to one of a set of machines, and it doesn't matter if the next packet goes to the same machine or not", then you need to find a reverse proxy or similar for your particular server. What protocol are you needing to load balance? That will help as far as knowing what type of hints to provide.
