You could set up a rule that tests the HTTP_HOST variable with a RewriteCond, and rewrites requests for /robots.txt to a different file that disallows everything if the requested hostname is the loadbalancer's IP address.

The problem may begin here:

The term "point" is non-technical 'slang' and is ambiguous. So specifically *how* did you *point* your address? If you did anything but define an "A" or "CNAME" record in your DNS zone file specifying the load-balancer's IP address, then that may be the problem.
