Once seperated into each Pool, I'm not sure that you would need to go any further than a custom F5 Cookie Setting to do the rest. These are the possible settings:
Cookie Hash: Specifies that the server provides the cookie, which the system then maps consistently to a specific node.
HTTP Cookie Insert: Specifies that the system inserts server information, in the form of a cookie, into the header of the server response. This is the default setting.
HTTP Cookie Passive: Specifies that the server provides the cookie, formatted with the correct server information and timeout.
HTTP Cookie Rewrite: Specifies that the system intercepts the BIGipCookie header, sent from the server, and overwrites the name and value of that cookie.
Hope this helps.
