Will VS Capacity Algorithm matches the requirement said above?

Yes, it should. I have a project to implement this, but I haven't done the implementation yet.
The problem is that the old documentation is not clear, but the new one looks more clear text.
"BIG-IP DNS distributes DNS name resolution requests to virtual servers in a list that are weighted by the number of available virtual servers in the pool. Use Virtual Server Capacity for load balancing virtual servers managed by LTM Systems. BIG-IP DNS selects a virtual server that has the most available (UP) members. When selecting a virtual server from a wide IP pool and two or more virtual servers result in equal scores, BIG-IP DNS will return one of the equal scored virtual servers randomly."

The pool with the most available virtual servers is sent more requests; however, over time all the virtual servers in all the pools are sent requests. If more than one virtual server has the same weight, then BIG-IP GTM distributes DNS requests among those virtual servers using the round-robin load balancing method."
