If your pool members are linux, you do have another option. With a little assist from iproute2 and iptables, you set the bigip as a conditional gateway via layer 2. See the writeup here:

Known to work on 11.x or better but I see no reason why it wouldn't run on older versions. The required shell script is supplied with the writeup.
