Can you set F5 as the default gateway for the pool members? You might also try nPath; that works as long as those running the pool members remember to setup the VIP address on a non-arping loopback. With a Unix-like OS like Linux you can use the 'ip' command to set up multiple routing tables, each with its own default gateway, using 'ip' or iptables to glide node member egress traffic toward the interface primed to deliver to F5.
