BIGIP is a default deny device. It will not route or pass traffic between vlans until told to. For the scenario you describe you will need what's called a wildcard virtual server using the pool you configured that contains your links to load balance traffic to the internet. A forwarding virtual server cannot be used because they do not provide load balancing capabilities.
