To achieve true balancing, you'll need to get rid of persistency - talk to your DEVs. To mitigate the uneven balancing problem, perhaps "Least Sessions" balancing method would work better for you? With "Least Sessions" method, expect to achieve ~60/40 balancing ratio during the peak hours. When there is very little activity, you can expect ~80/20 balancing, and that's normal.
Another mitigation tip: If you have a persistency profile configured so that the persistency cookie has an indefinite timeout, you should consider reducing it to 2 hours. Quite commonly, end-users don't close their web-browser as they go home from work, and this could negatively impact your balancing ratios of internal-use applications.
