Check out this iRule.
The throttling begins at after 100 HTTP Requests are made within 5 minutes. You can modify these values in the iRule based on your requirement.
Only change you have to make is on Line 19 - Remove the HTTP::respond section and put an if condition to check for the necessary headers. If the expected headers are present allow the traffic, or else drop it.
