Other than some fancier and probably better under-the-cover solution
involving configuration of your load-balanced servers, wouldn't using a
frame to display the page on the other server result in the URL in the
address bar remaining whatever was the parent's URL (i.e., it would
remain http://eportal.abc.us although the frame that takes the entire
page size goes to http://pdx1.abc.com)?
The problem I see with this solution is that the user can disable or
prompt when navigating frames across domains. You are having them first
connect to the abc.us domain and then open a frame on the abc.com
domain. I have my IE's Internet security zone configured to prompt me
for "Navigate sub-frames across domains", and I rarely allow it even if
the source and target domains are known. Is there good reason why your
load-balancing hosts aren't on the same domain as the server proffering
the home page?
