I suspect you could give the clients a hostname for the proxy and have the
name resolve to both servers. With just two boxes, I don't think more
sophisticated load balancing would be cost-effective.

Have the download cache as a parent to the main cache. Use
cache_peer_access to force downloadish extensions to it. Obviously this
means the main cache will see all traffic, but at least it doesn't need to
store the big stuff.
