I'm not exactly sure whether this is what you are asking for, but with the appropriate license you can setup DRS host affinity rules for the VMs.

Please refer above product documentation at page 75~. In page 77, there is section for VM-host affinity rule. It could be help of you.

If you're interested in ESX version earlier than 5.0, please go to vmware site and find document titles "Resource Management Guide". I am sure there must be similar seciton as of version 5.0 documentation.
