I would do this with maps, rewrite and upstream variables.

https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_map_module.html
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#variables
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html

Untested:
###
map $upstream_addr $direct_domain {
default nginxlb.com;
IP1 upstreamserver1.com;
IP2 upstreamserver2.com;
}

return 301 http://$direct_domain/data/download
###

Aleks
