Apart from that, I'm not sure I follow what you want to do 100%. Are you saying you want to promote the unavailability of say appE so that webA now gets 3/5's of the load and webB gets 2/5's? If so, I'd recommend an external monitor on the web servers to set the dynamic ratios of the poolmembers based on the number of poolmembers in the app server pools... (And use dynamic ratio (By PoolMember) on the webserver pool...
