how to allow only requests from certain GAE apps to an GCE load balancer?

Let's say I have a group of VM's on GCE (database cluster) behind an HTTP/HTTPS Load balancer:

HTTP Load Balancer 
       |
      /|\
  VM1 VM2 VM3

It is possible to limit requests only from certain GAE apps?

My goal is to share the cluster with more than one app running in GAE, let's say a trusted zone so that I can avoid an authentication layer on the cluster, GCE side.

Or any idea of how to achieve something similar ?

Google App Engine gives you a few methods to identify the GAE app that is doing a request (more information here).

Unfortunately, those won't work at the protocol levels currently supported by the Load Balancer and so you'll need to do the authentication in your instances.
