Simple answer...no, you can't.
Long answer...You don't want to anyway. 1. It won't fully test the I/O network thoroughput of your load-balancer. 2. Your load-testing software will put an artificial cpu load on the load-balancer in the process further skewing the results. Once could say that perhaps the 2 things would offset each other, but fact of the matter still remains...you can't do it anyway :-)
