My initial thought for this: create a simple redis db for storing key value pairs of instance -> list of live instances for each privacy front end (libreddit, bibliogram, etc). A script executed on a certain schedule would (in the background) check each instance to make sure it isn't down or unreasonably slow. If the instance is available, add it to a list of available instances in the db. When a user navigates to the revolver url (something like <url>/<service>/<...>), the app would pick a random value from the list returned by redis.get('<service>') and forward the user to that instance. As a side note, this could instead load the instances json from a remote source (like github or something) so that changes to instances don't need to involve a redeploy of the entire app.
