As I'm sure you're probably discovering, server targeting is normally the job 
of the load balancer as opposed to the application.  Though ClusterCats is not 
an option for you, is it possible to configure your current balancing solution 
to use session-based balancing rather than request-based?  This would leave the 
session on whichever server the balancer selects at the beginning of the 
session.  It's not as efficient as request-based balancing, and you'll have to 
be very wary of session timeouts, but if that's what you need...
