since 'addServer' from gearman client is not working properly this code can choose a jobserver randomly and if fails try the next one, this way you can balance the load.

        // job servers
        $jobservers = array('192.168.1.1','192.168.1.2');
        // prepare gearman client
        $gmclient = new GearmanClient();
        // shuffle job servers (deliver jobs equally by server)
        shuffle($jobservers);
        // add job servers
        foreach($jobservers as $jobserver) {
            // add random jobserver
            $gmclient->addServer($jobserver);
            // check server state if ok end foreach
            if (@$gmclient->ping('ping')) break;
            // if connections fails reset client
            $gmclient = new GearmanClient();
        }
