Why not cut out the F5, use stream to balance between the same instance(s)
(loop back) with either a single server block and loadbalanced upstream or
split up, which ever works best / more consistent in load distribution.

nginx is by default a better loadbalancer then a F5, but that's a personal
opinion.
