Load balancing syslog to a pool of syslog receivers

Question

I am trying to come up with a way to load balance a large amount of syslog messages that are coming from a single node.  
&nbsp;
I created a stateless VIP.  I created a UDP profile with LB datagram and an immediate timeout setting.  I have a pool of 2 servers that I want to split between the two nodes evenly on a per packet basis.&nbsp;
Yet all traffic goes to one node.  
&nbsp;
Am I missing something?&nbsp;
