The clone pool concept requires the clone destination to accept traffic destined either for the client's destination IP (normally the VIP for a host virtual server) or the virtual server's pool member IP addresses. If your clone destination can't answer for these IPs, a clone pool won't work for your scenario. See SOL8573 for details:

If that won't work for you, can you provide more detail on your overall goals? If you want to simply send a TCP or UDP syslog message to more than one destination, you could potentially use an iRule and High Speed Logging:
