Streaming traffic to 2 servers

A VIP load balances UDP traffic. We want to send UDP traffic to 2 destinations. Since this is UDP traffic will it be possible to send traffic to 2 destinations by adding a clone pool and placing the 2nd node in that pool?

 

If yes, what are the pros and cons? Is there a better method to achieve this? For example, can I write an iRule and just put 2 pools after the criteria? Will it send traffic to both or just the first mentioned pool?

 

Note: (We understand that a clone pool doesn't check the health of pool members.)
