The catch in that ask F5 article you linked to is that they refer to "ratio" but never mention what the other half of the ration is - it is 'Least Connections:Fastest Response' (I'm simplifying and may have the order of the ration backward), but simply, it combines both to come up with which server gets the next incoming connection.
The ask F5 article isn't wrong, just isn't clear on that tidbit.
Hope that helps!
