You're using persistence. That entails connections being sent to server 
'x' from client 'y' until no connections from client 'y' have been 
handled within the persistence timeout.

For testing purposes, change your scheduler back to 'rr' and comment out 
the persistence_timeout line in your virtual_server definition.

Re-test from a single (or multiple) client(s) and see what that gives you.

Also, a recommendation: change your weights up to 100 for your 
realservers. 100/100 equates to 1/1 but gives you more flexibility if 
you put in a nominally half-spec server (or twice-spec, and so on).
