                        "loadBalancingMode": "least-connections-member",

                        "members": [

                            {

                                "adminState": "enable",

                                "shareNodes": true,

                                "servicePort": 80,

                                "serverAddresses": [

                                    "2.2.2.2"

                                ],

                                "hostname": "vmmsjontestp01"

                            },

                            {

                                "adminState": "enable",

                                "shareNodes": true,

                                "servicePort": 80,

                                "serverAddresses": [

                                    "3.3.3.3"

                                ],

                                "hostname": "vmmsjontestp02"

                            }

                            {

                                "adminState": "enable",
