Specify a Server in a CF Cluster

Question

We have a CFMX 7 cluster set up in Round-Robin mode. On
occasion, we would like to be able to specify a specific server in
the cluster to handle a request. Is it possible to do so with a URL
variable or something rather than just leaving it to CF to route
requests to each server?

For instance, if my cluster consisted of Server A, Server B,
and Server C, and I specifically wanted Server B to run a request,
I would like to do so with something like: 
http://www.mysite.com/webpage.cfm?cfserver=ServerA

Is this possible?

I don't think this is possible.However, I'm sure you can kludge something?For example, how about instead of http://www.mysite.com/webpage.cfm?cfserver=ServerByou could use a URL like this...http://www-B.mysite.com/webpage.cfmI know it would be alot of extra work, but I think it wouldwork?So the idea is this:1) don't touch how you have things configured now2) on ServerB, create another IIS site that points to yourexisting directories and also your host header for this IIS site is "www-B"3) on ServerB, create another instance of CFMX4) point your new IIS site to the new instance of CFMX.. something like that.Good luck!
