    MaxMedov This absolutely should balance you to the next available pool if you have connections active on the first pool member at 2 connections. This might be worth opening an F5 TAC and providing them the QKVIEW on it.

Hi, Paulius thank you for your quick response.
I know about priority groups, but from what I know and what existed in the documentation, this option will work when the poll member is unavailable, which means he won't reply to the health check or will be disabled. Are you sure it's working the same as the connection limit per pool member?

MaxMedov I am definitely sure that if you set a connection limit on the pool member it will use priority group activation. So priority group activation will kick in when a status other than green kicks in, in this case the connection limit, and then the next server will take over and not just health check failures.
