IanB, I don't think that approach will work. Article SOL10379 says that the BIG-IP doesn't respond to ARP requests it issues, so a virtual server address that's placed in a pool will never receive traffic.

 

Depending on the criteria used to determine which of the two target virtual servers should be selected, an iRule could either redirect, select a separate pool, or use the "virtual" command to pick the target of choice.
