OK, that's good to know. Now we can concentrate on...

This.

They're both behaving correctly :)
It looks as though you have IIS on www1 set to not do keepalives so
every request *for every element on a page* is a separate connection.
www2, however, seems to be honouring keepalive requests so is allowing a
given client to make multiple HTTP requests down the same TCP
connection.
Both of these are perfectly normal behaviour and are dependent on
circumstance, however it would be easier for you to handle the
connections (in terms of raw numbers, nothing else) if the IIS server on
both systems was configured in the same way.
You might need to check the following:
