LINK::nexthop only allows you to retrieve the MAC address of the next hop. It can't be used to set the MAC address.
I'm still not sure I understand what flow of traffic you want to achieve. I assume for normal traffic (not POST requests with an uploaded file type of .exe, .doc, etc) you want to use a standard pool. For POST requests, you want to check what the file type is. If it's a special one, you want to send the request to the eSafe host. Does the eSafe listen on its own IP address and port or is it a transparent network device? How will the eSafe host send the traffic on? Will it reply to the BIG-IP with a status message stating the file was okay/bad? Or will it proxy the request to the web server? What happens if the file validation faiils?
