you won't have virtual command either.
the url that I sent uses technique called virtual targeting virtual.

so forget about it
btw, back to your original question. there is no way to create redirect with POST (somebody correct me if I am wrong)
but as I mentioned, you can use redirect...then when client send new GET to BIG-IP, this GET request does not need to forward to server. BIG-IP replies with page that contains auto-POST javascript...(use HTTP::respond)
this technique is simple and has been used by another product - FirePass also.
if you are familiar to javascript, here is something what I meant
something like..
onload=document.form.submit();
sorry if you are not familiar with javascript, I don't know of it much either.
you may do the same as me (google it)
PS: this won't work if new http request (after redirect) does not come to BIG-IP
