NimbostratusPriority for Weight/Score in topology record would be highest or lowest
Dear Experts,
While configuring topology records, I noticed that highest weight/score takes preference over low weight/score (both source and destination are same in the topology record, only difference is weight/score), however in the document it is mentioned that lowest would take precedence.
As per document it is like below
I configured it on BIG-IP DNS and notice as below
Please confirm.

Hello Fozail , In the event that a name resolution request matches more than one topology record, the BIG-IP DNS system uses the destination object with the highest weight (score) to determine which statement it uses to load balance the request.link text

Hi Kolom,
Thank you for the comment.
Hence the statement in the document is wrong, or is it like in 11.X.X the behavior was different but in 12.X.X behavior got changed?

Hi Fozail , I've tested it before on 11.x (i guess it was 11.5) and the behavior was the same ( the highest weight takes precedence) .Mostly they need to change this info on the mentioned manual.
