I almost forgot, but the Balchoth were Vassals of Dol Goldur (The remnants of the Wainriders left in Western Rhovanion near the East Bight of Mirkwood - or at least they are referred to as such once).
But Tolkien does make them out to be allies of Dol Doldur, in the service of Khamûl during the Watchful Peace.
But considering the Balchoth enter the scene right when Sauron returns out of Rhûn to reclaim Dol Goldur (ending said peace), there would probably be remnant Balchoth in his service, along with the Orcs and Undead.
