Sorry not the OP ..

Most ADCs or Loadbalancers allow you to select a specific node or pool
of nodes depending on incoming criteria.. so yea IP of originating request 
is pretty simple.

So for me when testing / upgrading. I enable a rule that says if my workstation 
is accessing the IdP service go to this particular node or pool that is defined on 
the ADC.
