The load balancing in a Java cluster is a feature of the underlying Java container and the connector used to connect it to a webserver. Or alternatively of the loadbalancer you use to distribute the load between the diffeent webservers. You didn't explicitly specify what you are using, so I will presume you are using several ColdFusion instances deployed on JRun, connected to a single webserver. The way you can influence to which server a request goes is through the jsessionid. Make sure you configure the cluster to use sticky sessions and then look up the server.id for each instance (in the connector.properties file in SERVER-INF). Any jsessionidof which the first 4 bytes are equal to the server.id will be directed to that instance. If you have a different setup, ask on the mailinglist for you loadbalancer vendor or Java container.
