In order to test this, if you have direct access to the 2 servers, or if you have 2 dev servers (or 2 instances), you can just change your hosts file so that
www.domain.com points to the ip of the 1st server, and then after hitting it, change the ip to point to the 2nd server (you might have to restart your browser for the dns change to get picked up).
