What you want is called DSR, meaning direct server return.
This is stateless load balancing, since the LB only balances the connection initially, and does nothing else.
The result will be that after initial balance to one of the servers, a client - server connection will not go thru LB after that.
It requires your load balanced servers to have VIP ip address defined on localhost interface (alias).
Also, your load balanced servers must not answer to ARP requests.
And a load balancer software which supports that functionality with a network environment which allows it, since this is MAC spoofing
Hope that helps

guessnet-scan
GUESSNET-SCAN(8) System Manager's Manual GUESSNET-SCAN(8)
NAME
guessnet-scan - guess network configuration data by looking at network traffic
SYNOPSIS
guessnet-scan [options] [ethernet_interface]
DESCRIPTION
Guessnet-scan tries to deduce network configuration data by watching network traffic at a given Ethernet interface.
After scanning network traffic for some time, guessnet-scan prints a configuration string suitable for inclusion in /etc/network/inter-
faces.
Note that guessnet-scan uses heuristics and wild guesses and that the resulting data is not guaranteed to be accurate. The program is
intended to be used as a first try at getting network configuration data without bothering anyone.
OPTIONS
Options follow the usual GNU conventions,
--debug
Print debugging messages.
--help Show a brief summary of commandline options.
--init-time=int
Time in seconds to wait for the interface to initialize when it is not found already up at program startup. Default: 3 seconds.
-t, --timeout=int
Time in seconds to watch for network traffic. Default: 5 seconds.
-v, --verbose
Operate verbosely.
--version
Show the version number of the program.
SCANNING REQUIREMENTS
To correctly identify all data of the local network, guessnet-scan needs to see traffic related to a host in the local network and to the
local gateway, if any.
To be able to identify the network gateway, guessnet-scan also needs to see some traffic directed to the external network: you can help the
detection by generating some outbound IP traffic during the scan, for example by browsing a web page (without proxy) or using telnet to
open a connection to some remote host.
Note that if you are connected to a switch, guessnet-scan won't probably be able to work, since the switch will isolate it from the network
traffic that the other machines are generating.
