I don't know of a way to prevent an interface from responding to ARP
queries, but you could take this approach: on the web servers' gateway
router you could manually, permanently set the ARP entry for the shared
web IP address to that of the desired machine. Then I guess it won't
send any ARP queries... I don't know if it will populate its ARP cache
based on answers to other peoples' queries...
