VIP to VIP communications on the same BigIP LTM

Is it possible to have two members of a pool, communicate with members of a different pool using their VIPs? Both pools are configured on the same BigIP LTM, doing an Air Watch implementation which has 3 sets of load balanced servers and requires the servers to communicate with each other using their VIP.

    In a way DS1 and DS2 are clients, although the only way it can communicate outbound is through the BigIP LTM. I think it uses the VS(DS) as a SNAT for outbound traffic. Similarly SG1 and SG2 uses VS(SG) as a outbound SNAT.
