I think you cannot do that, as you thing.

Maybe the best solution is to create shared folder, and save all resources (files, images etc.) to that folder, on each server create virtual directory point to that folder, and use that path when providing link for downloading file.

Another solution is to use ip-based load balancer but this it is not recommended solution.

I hope you understand me, if not feel free to ask.
