Yes, strategy would be the place to do it.

The code here does exactly what you described:
https://github.com/dibenede/ndn-tutorial-gec21/blob/master/solutions/random-load-balancer-strategy.cpp

Note that the code is old and you might need to change it a bit to
match the latest ndn-cxx library API. I have not tested it recently.
