But you can via iControl, or even SSH.
Presumably you have some kind of cron task calling a script that initiates the reboot. You could edit that script to issue a 'node down' (or disable) for the node prior to restarting the app, followed by a 'node up' (or enable).
If getting your head around iControl's SOAP interface is too much, consider setting up a private key-based account, then you can manage it via ssh:
ssh user@bigip bigpipe node 1.1.1.1:80 down
Since you have a private key setup, this will automatically log into the Big/IP and issue the bigpipe command. It's also a lot faster than SOAP for one-off commands.
