No I haven't. Can you explain why a weight of 1 will result in the 
service being overloaded, and how would weight = 2 make a difference?

As I understand it, the weight only specifies the relative weight of the 
real servers. It has nothing to do with the actual number of 
connections. Am I wrong? My current setup also has weight = 1 for all 
real servers.
