We have a similar situation, one set of servers with multiple applications. We created a unique pool for each application and created a unique monitor and assigned the monitor to the pool representing that application. Then using an iRule we check the URI incoming HTTP request and select the appropriate pool.

That is exactly what I was thinking is the only option possible, but reading the reply from Brad, Local Traffic Policy looks to be able to handle this as well, I will give it a try. But thanks for confirmation that the iRule version is also logical solution :-)
