EmployeeThere shouldn't be anything particularly troublesome about load balancing ssh, a port 22 vip with members in a pool on port 22 should work fine with the default settings and source IP persistence.
Can the LTM's ssh into the pool members directly from the command line? That would be the easiest way to check for connectivity on the back end. If that works, and the servers are passing whatever health check is configured in the pool (ie pool and virtual are green) then I would start looking at the configuration of the virtual itself, but again the basic default settings should suffice.
You may need to create a persistence profile with a longer timeout than the default source IP settings (5 min) to ensure people don't get kicked out of their session as often though.
