How can I bypass a load balancer

My team deployed our sites last night, found a bug this morning, deployed again, and now all our sites are down. Our sites use a load balancer and are all running on the same IIS app pool. We've tried restarting IIS several times to no avail, which leads us to think it is a problem with the load balancer. Is it possible to bypass the load balancer using a hosts file or is there another way?

The network card on each server will have its own ip address, over an above the ip address published by the load balancer, you could reset your dns record to this address.

Bear in mind this'll take you down to a single server, but given that you have no servers at the moment...
