There is not currently a timer event within iRules, but it sounds like you should be able to accomplish pretty close to what you're looking for with just a normal VIP/Pool config and a very long interval period on a monitor. If you set a monitor with a very long poll interval on both of your systems, then you'd be able to determine if they've both been down for 10 minutes, then use a fallback host for a new pool. You'd likely only want to set the polling interval to 5 minutes, but that should get you close to what you're looking for.
