Looks like you may have some limitations as far as objects, but you have the Global Traffic Manager module license which is the requirement to do this.

 

To test, create your two servers (Global Traffic -> Servers) first. Then create the pool (Global Traffic -> Pools) and assign the two servers you created. Don't worry about a monitor for now. Then create a wide IP (Global Traffic -> Wide IPs) and assign the pool you just created.

 

If this all can be done, then you should be good to go. You'll just need to build that custom HTTP monitor with the appropriate send and receive strings.
