Pool member status on F5 DNS objects via iControl REST

Is there a way to SET the state of a BIG-IP DNS Pool? In my downstream LTMs, I can intercept error conditions for nodes using an iRule, and if the local Pool has no other members up, I want to signal the BIG-IP DNS that the service is down right away, so I can respond to the client to re-query DNS and pick up another data center. The problem I have is that if I have to wait for all the Health Checks to timeout (both locally on the LTM, and then up on the DNS), the BIG-IP DNS could re-pick the data center with the down service in the meantime, and cause my request to loop.
