Well, you could certainly inspect each piece of data sent across from the client.
To do this you'd have to set the connection to a collect state (TCP::collect), load balance appropriately, and then release the connection (TCP::release) each time data was passed through.
This should be taken care of by the default load balancing mechanism you're using for your VIP, though. I would imagine you would be better off just configuring your VIP to load balance every new post to a different server, rather than trying to analyze things on a per packet basis and load balance appropriately.
