If they are all in a single FOG, if there's no existing session you'll 
see all the hosts in a chooser
and be permitted to place your new session on whichever server you like.

With smartcards or with NSCM policy disabled, you'll see this chooser 
before the login greeter.  With NSCM,
you'll see it *after* authenticating, and if you switch hosts you'll 
have to authenticate
again, unfortunately.

If they are in separate FOGs, you'll need to also set remoteSelect=true
to get a text-input box where you can type the hostname of a Sun Ray server.

This will, of course, defeat load balancing.
