Following the pool selection topic: I think there is a way to use an iRule command do determine the unit id: 

static::tcl_platform(machine)
(https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.tcl_platform.ashx) which will return the hostname of the BIG-IP unit that is processing the iRule and use this as an unit identifier. Then map the pool based on the hostname.

Would that work for you?
