This should be related to CMP (Clustered Multiprocessing). By default CMP is enabled for VS. And based on the number of tmm's thats available, the connections are distributed evenly.

Refer this Article - K8457: Connection limits for a CMP system are enforced per TMM instance

Note: With very low connection limits, or if the number of connections is low compared to the number of TMM instances, the system may appear to enforce lower than expected connection limits. In addition, F5 does not recommend that you configure a connection limit to a number lower than the number of TMM instances supported by the platform; doing so may result in unpredictable connection counts.
