Load Balancing a UDP server

I have a udp server, it is a central part in my business process. in order to handle the loads I'm expecting in the production environment ill probably need 2 or 3 instances of the server. The server is almost entirely stateless, it mostly collect's data, and the layer above it knows how to handle the minimal amount of stale data that can arise from the the multiple server instances.

My question is how can I implement load balancing between the servers? I would prefer to distribute the requests as evenly as possible between the servers. I would also would like to have some fidelity, i mean if client X was routed to server y, then I want all of X's subsequent requests to go to server Y, as long as it is sensible and not overloads Y.

By the way it is a .NET system... what would you recommend?

How many clients will be using these servers? If the number is reasonably high DNS round robin loadbalancing would probably be fine.
