If I'm understanding your question correctly, you cannot have two VIPs with the same IP address and port. There is a precedence that the F5 uses when accepting network traffic:
- Existing session in session table
- Packet Filter
- Virtual Server (https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K14800)
- SNAT
- NAT
- Self-IP
- Deny
The third item on this list->Virtual Server has a precedence as well: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K14800. That precedence would not allow two virtual servers to share the same IP address and port.
