Great. Any opportunities to upgrade? Your version was never released and
is over a year old.

So, you expect each server to serve 1/N of the incoming requests per
unit time. Any session stickiness?

Okay, that will mean that the second server will handle, at most, 300
simultaneous connections. Do you have any per-backend-server connection
limits set at the load balancer?

So, let's do an example so I can get my head around it:

N = 3

Server 1: maxThreads=1000, busy=100
Server 2: maxThreads=1000, busy=100
Server 3: maxThreads=300,  busy=200

Is that roughly what you observed? Was that consistent over a long
period of time? Did you observe what kinds of requests were being served
on server 3? If some of them were long-running, you may just be
observing a natural build-up of work on a server that reliably gets 33%
of incoming requests but has some older requests that are still processing.

Good. If that weren't true, something would be terribly wrong :)

I can't imagine why it would, other than putting a cap on the number of
busy threads (because busyThreads <= maxThreads).

What kind of lb are you using?
