RMI is TCP based so there's no reason it can't using iRules. What features are you actually looking for?

Java RMI uses a Java specific method of network serialization, or else CORBA IIOP, to marshal object on the wire. iControl is a SOAP HTTP service. That means it uses SOAP XML messages inside HTTP POST requests as defined by the iControl WSDLs. The iControl service on the Big-IP devices isn't written in Java and doesn't support IIOP, so the answer is no.
Thx- What_Lies_Bene1OK, so to clarify for my and other's benefit, you wish to use RMI to control the BIG-IP or you wish to load balance RMI traffic?
