A layer 4 virtual server will allow you to apply and iRule that can perform actions at layer 4 events, like matching against destination port numbers.
Both servers will forward the initial SYN to its destination without waiting for the handshake to complete on the frontend. Using these profiles the f5 is effectively routing.
