Yes your box is potentially vulnerable when all pools associated with the wide-IP are unavailable. This is clarified in https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/17000/100/sol17181.html

 

"These versions are vulnerable if configured with a pool that uses the Return to DNS load balancing method or when the pool's Alternate and Fallback load balancing methods are set to None, and all pools associated with the wide-IP are unavailable."
