You can use the self-IP as a next-hop. Typically (simply speaking) you'll want to use a floating self IP for the traffic group so routing survives a fail-over between clustered devices (if applicable).

 

However the wording of your question catches my eye. If the issue is constrained by a property of the server certificate (SHA2 signature algorithm or other), then I would not suspect routing as the issue. Does the issue only impact servers using SHA2 certificates? Are other servers in the same subnets working properly?
