Sure. Yes, you are monitoring twice, once from the MSS servers via the F5s to one of the Rhino servers (which ever is selected by the load balancing algorithm) and from the F5 itself too. If you could just monitor the Virtual Server from the MSS servers that would be the optimal configuration.
I'd suggest you test first however to ensure that the MSS to VIP monitor fails when both Rhino servers are marked as down. Ping for instance will still work if there are other Virtual Servers using the same Virtual IP Address.
