Marking a VIP down via an iRule

We have an Exchange cluster that monitors 2 Exchange F5 VIPs (1 F5 VIP in location X, 1 in location Y).     Each of those VIPs has an iRule applied to them, that looks through various conditions...

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

 

Since the VIP only has an iRule applied to it (with various conditions), that VIP will always respond on its port.

 

I'm trying to see if there is any way we can have the VIP NOT respond on that port (I'm thinking the only way this is possible is via iRule, if at all).
