Application Center the Best Option?

I have a .NET 2.0 web application, using a SQL Server 2005 MSCS backend for
membership and content, currently in development. When it's finally released
to production it would need to have High Availability.

I'd ike it to distribute the application processing load, if at all
possible. That is, if one web server is busy processing requests (a high CPU
usage but low network utilization situation), then users are redirected to
another web server.

Can AC do this for me, or does it have to be coded into the web app?

Application Center relies on NLB for web request distribution.
This is based on weight and affinity. not cpu usage.
