OK, so there are different connection sources. In that case sure, an iRule can do this easily. If you configure a default Persistence profile on the VS of source address, the elseif isn't actually required, I've just included it to demonstrate the possibilities; 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
 Check if this is a BPM system
 if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 192.168.1.0/24] } {
  If a BPM system, disable persistence
  persist none
  Stop processing the iRule here
  return
  }
 Check if this is a CC user
 elseif { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 172.16.0.0/16] } {
  If a CC user, enable source address persistence
  persist source_addr
  Stop processing the iRule here
  return
 }
}
