I have setup Rayserve on EKS.

I have one pod for Head and 1 for worker

There are Kubernetes service i have

```auto
whisper-streaming-asr-cht9h-head-svc ClusterIP None <none> 10001/TCP,8265/TCP,6379/TCP,8080/TCP,8000/TCP 20h
whisper-streaming-asr-head-svc ClusterIP None <none> 10001/TCP,8265/TCP,6379/TCP,8080/TCP,8000/TCP 20h
whisper-streaming-asr-serve-svc ClusterIP 172.20.89.59 <none> 8000/TCP

```

I created target group binding for service

**whisper-streaming-asr-serve-svc**

but i see that instead of one pod of worker on port 8000 , its also includes the head pod as well

Is there any issue , is it expected ?
