iRule to load balance between 2 pools?

For some reason I can't have all members (running one service) in one pool and so I need to create two pools and load balance (round robin) between them with source persistence. Can this be done using...
application delivery
dev
devops
iRules

OK, the application servers (2 servers) do not support bonding / etherchannel but have two interfaces that can be configured in two different vlans so I'm trying to use bigip to achieve this using priority groups.

 

 

Since I don't want to have two IP addresses active on the same server, I can't add them all to the same pool and I need to have each server with it's 2 IP addresses in one pool and have each IP in it's own priority group.

 

 

Now I want RR load balancing between the pools using iRule and was not sure if this is possible
