If you select Least Connections (Member) as the balancing method, the balancing decision will be based on the connection counters of a particular Pool. You can call this isolated balancing, because the connection counters outside the context of a particular Pool do not matter.

 

If you change the balancing method to Least Connections (Node), the connection counters outside the context of a given pool will start to matter.
