Hit pool members directly, bypassing VIP

I've had a request from my customer about accessing the pool members directly. I've tried to hit them this way, and it never works. Is it possible to just put in the IP of a pool memeber and the BigIP...

As long as the pool members are on directly connected networks, you could do that if you just configure a forwarding virtual server of type Forwarding (IP) that specifies for the destination 0.0.0.0 (or the subnet of the servers you want to reach) and is enabled at least on then ingress vlan.
