I believe your Cisco SE forwarded the same question to me.
Here is the answer I gave him :
with sticky source ip, this output is most probably normal.
Let's say you have 4 clients, A,B,C,D.
They all open 2 connections to the VIP.
You will have on server 1 - AACC and on server 2 BBDD.
Now, let's say B and D decides to close the connections while C stays connected and A decides to open 2 more connections.
Because of stickyness the new connections from A will be sent to server1.
You end up with server1: AAAACC and server2: - no connections.
This is even worst if a server goes down.
Assume only server1 is up.
All clients open a connection. Because server2 is down, all the connection are sent to server1.
Because of stickyness, when server2 comes back up, all connections from A,B,C,D are still forwarded to server1.
I see your servers had a lot of transitions.
So you might have a sticky table that forwards most of the traffic to server1.
You should configure a sticky timeout, so that the sticky table can be refreshed.
Here is the command that you need :
CSS11503-2(config-owner-content[gdufour-WWW])# sticky-inact-timeout ?
CSS11503-2(config-owner-content[gdufour-WWW])# sticky-inact-timeout
And clear the sticky table manually if you want to start fresh immediately.

How can I setup to clear the sticky table a 3am every day?
Thanks

you'll have to use the 'cmd-sched' command to setup a scheduler that runs a script with the correct command to clear the sticky table.
