Hi Dave,
My thinking is that if one service on the node requires a lot of resources, you wouldn't want the node to receive a lot of traffic on the second service. One way to avoid that would be to use a load balancing algorithm that takes into account the nodes membership in multiple pools.
If you were actually monitoring node resource utilization in a dynamic load balancing algorithm, this would be less relevant. But if you're just sending packets for multiple services that have varying resource requirements, I think it makes sense to use a node method instead of a pool member method.
