    In additon to what PSFletchTheTek wrote, Auto Last Hop only applies to traffic from clients towards the F5. For the traffic that goes from the F5 towards the pool members, the routing table is used. So, if I understand your network topology correctly this setup should work fine with Auto Last Hop enabled. The F5 will just return the packet towards the client to the same interface it came in at first.
