We are running a round-robin load balanced pool of 4 servers. I would like to be able to identify the server servrving the page in the html. What would work best?

Try inserting HTML comments to name the server. That is the way we do it.

Yes just to add to that, inserting the comment in the application file should do the trick.

Can you explain further? The files get synched across all servers so they need to be exact on each server

Your Application.cfm could include an id.cfm file which stays unique and does not get updated ever.
This file would have the id of that server.
Let me know if you need furthure explaination.

While you could do this using cfexecute to call "set" through a .bat file, among other methods, the most straightforward would likely be to pull the value straight from the registry, like so:
<cfoutput>
<cfregistry
action="get"
branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName"
entry="ComputerName"
type="String"
variable="RegValue">
Computer name is #RegValue#
</cfoutput>

Although the last response is a good answer, be aware that it may add overhead where it is not needed. Especialy since this will be called on all pages.

Very good point! For high-load situations, it would certainly make more sense (and reduce overhead) to adopt the previously mentioned method of having an id.cfm which would contain the server's name, and be excluded from the cross-server synchronization process.
