I'll admit, I don't follow your logic here.

 

Why would you think that only the LTM can send probe requests? I think you're missing out some details if you think do.

 

I could assume that your mean that you need a client cert to talk to the pool member, and nobody else has a client cert... but you don't state that in your setup, so based on the information you do supply I would disagree with your conclusion.
