A general question for a start - why do you want to load-balance the
traffic? Are you hitting the limit of what one host can do, or is it
for redundancy?

If it's for redundancy... don't ;) Setting up 2 opensips servers with
a simple ip failover gives you a lot less headache than any external
load-balanced solution. (many phones are not clever enough and they
have problem with receiving packets coming from *the other* server)
If it's because you *really* cannot handle all the traffic on one
host, then look at balancing on the client side via SRV records. In my
experience you'll get a distribution like 33/66 % between two servers.
Maybe that will be enough for you?
