NServiceBus F5 load balancing Subscribers without using a distributor

We are looking to use our F5's to load balance MSMQ messages without using a distributor (our windows boxes are not currently clustered).

Using DB subscription storage & publishing to a VIP, would 3 subscribers register with the publisher? (ie the VIP, & both subscribers?)

Using MSMQ transactional queues will 1 subscriber only process the message? As we only want to publish to the VIP would 1 server process the message & would the callback to the originating server succeed?

Thanks

MSMQ doesn't work with transactional messages behind a load balancer:
