With all due respect, you are talking about using a load balancing solution
to fix a simple Apache/DNS configuration issue.  Not the recommended way to
go.

Reema: You basically need to create A records for each of the hostnames
listed above and make sure they are pointed to the same IP.  From that
point, you just have to either configure IP based virtual hosting (all
requests to that IP essentially serve up www.website.com) or you configure
apache to read multiple name-based virtual hosts to the same web path.  THe
latter is probably what you want to do.

i.e.
<VirtualHost website.com>
ServerName www.website.com
ServerAlias www.website.co.uk www.website.net
...

</VirtualHost>
