Destination address will always be sent to the same pool member, if available. AKA, it isn't load balanced in your scenario.

Hi,
My question is can we use dest_addr with standard virtual server type with 2 web servers as pool member?

Yes you can, but you won't be load balancing. Traffic will always go to one node, as long as the node is available.

Hi
If the load balancing will not happen, how VS will deciede which pool member to select to new connection? Since the destination address in client request will only contain the VS IP

It will use whatever load balancing method you chose, and then pin every connection to that node.
So if you used round-robin it would select the first node in the list and then pin everything to it for as long as it is available.
