Off the top of my head - not sure if this would actually work:

Update the login.jsp to look at the Host: header - if it's the "virtual" 
name (idp.illinois.edu), redirect to one of the "real" names 
(idpN.illinois.edu). Otherwise leave it alone.

I'm pretty sure that you only really need to sticky that page (because 
the login context stored locally to that IdP server).
