Microsoft should make Internet Explorer look up "_http._tcp." "SRV" records, just like the examples

That's because it isn't done in the DNS server. The division of the
load on your content HTTP servers is entirely at the whims of the
various HTTP clients (i.e. web browsers and proxy HTTP servers) all
across Internet that will be accessing them.

If you don't like the fact that you simply cannot provide load balancing
information to those HTTP clients via the DNS, join the lobby that wants
web browsers and proxy HTTP servers to make use of "SRV" resource records.

If you don't like the fact that you simply cannot provide load
balancing information to those HTTP clients via the DNS, join the lobby
that wants web browsers and proxy HTTP servers to make use of "SRV"
resource records.

If you want to load balance your servers, use a real load balancing
product.

There is no way DNS will ever be able to do much more than random load
banalcing. There is no way for a DNS server to 'know' how to balance
queries, beyond simple randomness (first query to first server, second
to second, and so on).

If nothing else, get your IIS servers to also run NLBS.
