Ben, could you explain a bit more what you are trying to do? iControl is a programmatic API to get at the control plane (configuration of virtual servers, pools, etc) while iRules are scripts that run in the data plane (real time connections through the device). Think of iControl as an extension of the product GUI. There's not really a way to use a GUI to insert addresses into the real-time traffic through the device.
If you could explain what problem you are trying to solve, we'll see if we can give you some advice on how to get there.
