SitRed is a simple, yet powerful, server that fetches a website's sitemap, parses it to extract the URLs, and then redirects incoming HTTP requests to a random URL from the list.
The server is written in Go and was designed for sitemaps generated by the Yoast SEO WordPress plugin, but as long as you don't feed it a sitemap index, you should be able to use with it other kinds of sitemaps. Additionally, it should work efficiently even with large sitemaps.
