There is something like this already, although there is not a button for it at the moment. If you have a specific server in mind, simply create the lobby and have the Lobby Leader set "ms_force_dedicated_server IP:Port" in his/her console before pressing "Start Game". This will force the Matchmaker to find only that server, but be aware that you may have to re-set the value of the command after each game, even though it will show as still having the same IP from last time; failing to do so may to result ms_force_dedicated_server to be ignored, or at least it did during the Demo.
