BIG-IP uses a specific order of preference when selecting which virtual server should process a connection. From most preferred to least preferred, the order is:

Destination host address (most specific match)

Source host address

Service port (least preferred)

So a virtual server with a more specific destination IP will always be chosen over one that only differs by source or port.
