Is 3.3.3.3 an IP address that is assigned to the BIG-IP? If so, you could bind it to the BIG-IP as a self-IP, then create a route to the external hosts going through the default route upstream of 3.3.3.3.

As yet another alternative, you could create an external monitor. The following post provides information about this:
