They all share a virtual IP address as well as their real IP address. (Together they form one big virtual server.) Thus, you could redirect to any one using it's real IP address. You can't, as far as I know, move HTTP requests around, since that all happens at a higher level than the NLB algorithms. By the time the HTTP request is being dealt with the NLB stuff is over with. You might be able to use some kind of reverse proxy to achieve whatever you want, although it may involve a bit of coding at socket level.
