Thought I'd repost back with my 1 iRule for this: 

when HTTP_REQUEST {       
 if { [HTTP::header "True-Client-IP"] equals "1.2.3.4"} {    
  log local0. "Requests from 1.2.3.4"
    switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
    "/video/*" { pool VIDEO member video_a}
    "/audio/*" {pool AUDIO member audio_a}
    "/text/*" {pool TEXT member text_a}
    default {pool default_pool member default_a}
  }
} else {  
  switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
    "/video/*" { pool VIDEO }
    "/audio/*" {pool AUDIO}
    "/text/*" {pool TEXT}
   default {pool default_pool}
    }
  }
}

Also, according to https://devcentral.f5.com/Tutorials/TechTips/tabid/63/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/130/iRules-101--05--Selecting-Pools-Pool-Members-and-Nodes.aspx 

You can also choose a specific pool member using the pool command:

pool HTTP_pool member 10.10.10.1 80

So if you haven't you may bee to add the port number after video_a etc..

Hope this helps,
