NimbostratusThis doesn't require an iRule.
Create a specific MSSQL monitor for this purpose. In the alias address field of the monitor hardcode the IP of the MSSSQL server you wish to monitor.
After you have saved this monitor add it as a pool healthcheck list. (You will need to still keep an HTTP healthcheck in place to monitor the nodes in the pool. Make sure that "Availibility requirement" is set to "(All) Health Monitor(s)"
The traffic will still be loadbalanced based on the loadbalancing algorithm you setup for the VIP.

P.S. - I've never tried this, but it should work.
