Selecting an external USB bluetooth adapter

How does one disable an internal bluetooth adapter and select an
external one instead?  I have a bluetooth dongle that I want to use.
When I plug it in, OS-X sometimes switches to it, but sometimes
doesn't.  I'd also like to be able to switch between the internal and
external adapter or multiple external adapters.  (I want to be able to
use multiple adapters so I can use multiple directional bluetooth
adapters.)  Primarily I'm interested in getting RSSI signal levels for
proximity detection.

Ideally it would be nice if the OS-X bluetooth API supported multiple
Bluetooth adapters simultaneously, but according to what I've read in
the archives it doesn't.  (Seems like a poor API design decision to
me.)
