We have a load balanced website. It connects to 6 different servers. Is there any way (ping or otherwise) to determine from the client side, which server the load is being passed to by the load balancer?

After some research Ive realized that you can get some information like the web server IIS version etc by looking at the HTTP header response. But you cannot tell from the client end which server this response originated from. Long story short, what is behind the load balancer is opaque to the user at the client end.
