If the client opens up 1 tcp connection and sends 100 "messages" down this one connection, the BIG-IP LTM only knows about the 1 connection, not the messages inside the connection because the BIG-IP LTM is not an MQ proxy. While load balancing MQ, it can only know about the tcp side of the house. You can use iRules to inspect this traffic, but as for load balancing seperate messages inside one tcp connections, I'm not sure how that could be done.
For iRules, I would probably use When server_connected like you mentioned. http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/SERVER_CONNECTED.html
