There's really two parts to this equation:

 

  1. Getting the Quartz scheduler to make (I'm assuming HTTP) queries through a BIG-IP virtual server that load balances the two web servers.

     

  2. Creating a tracking process in an iRule that defines what is available to query. If you're talking about two servers (or even a small handful), it's probably reasonable to create a long-lived session table that maintains access tracking. You could employ istats logging and a few other ways to track which server was accessed in a 24-hour day.
