The servers are shared by two separate BIG-IP pools: one for FTP and one for HTTP. The question emphasizes that some servers are receiving more traffic than others.
- Least Connections (Node) considers the total number of active connections to a node across pools, helping BIG-IP account for the overall load on shared servers.
- Least Connections (Member) considers connections to an individual pool member, which may not reflect the server's total connections across both FTP and HTTP pools.
