It's almost always possible; it really depends on how much work
you want to do.

Others have suggested a postfix method.  You can also pipe it to a script
that will select a destination to forward to alias "info at domain.tld" to
"|/my/selector|script".  This will work both in Postfix, sendmail, and probably
most other MTAs.

If you actually want randomization (rather than sequential round-robin),
you can simplify because you won't need to record the last delivery.  Use
/dev/urandom or unix time() mod 3 to select forwarding address.
