Hi Shawn,
You can configure a Performance L4 virtual server on port 445 pointing to a pool of windows servers to load balance the SMB traffic. Here are two posts you can reference for setting this up:
File share high availability

External Monitor for Shared Folders
http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=32&tpage=1&view=topic&postid=2292025084
And a sample configuration:
virtual test_fastl4_port445_vs {
snat automap
pool test_port445_pool
destination 10.1.1.1:445
ip protocol 6
profiles fastL4
persist source_addr
}
pool test_port445_pool {
members 10.2.2.2:445
members 10.2.2.3:445
}

- a community member contacted us looking for "information on using multiple SMB shares across a single F5 VS". The question is 404'ng but this answer you mention about File Share HA (also badly formatted from a previous ETL exercise) might have the answer?
I need to go into the wayback machine to see if I can figure out what that link WAS supposed to point to but figured I'd ask if you know of some more current info to help out?
