Yes, Virtual Servers and Pool Members can reside in different subnets, that's normally how things are setup. As long as the BIG-IP has Self IPs in the VLAN the Pool Members are in, or static routes to the relevant server network (and the same for servers back via the F5) then it will all work just fine. This is standard Linux style stateless routing.

 

Also note that destination address and (if necessary) port translation occurs automatically.
