Marking a VIP down via an iRule
Each of those VIPs has an iRule applied to them, that looks through various conditions and sends the request to respective pools.
The problem is when we do maintenance on location X, we need manual intervention to bring down the VIP in that location, so that the Exchange cluster doesn't send traffic to that VIP.
What we're looking to do, is to somehow build intelligence into the iRule that is applied to this VIP. For example, marking that VIP as down if a particular pool/s are marked as down.

Actually, what we're looking to do is mark a VIP down that does NOT have a pool applied to it. - Brian_Van_Stone

Assuming I understand your scenario, one exchange talks to two VIPs on your F5, which then direct traffic accordingly. When doing maintenance at the lowest level (the destination) you need to cut out the middle man by stopping the VIP from processing traffic.reject

Thanks Brian, the reject is what I was looking for.
