It is possible, but since you have an available machine it may be a 
better idea to simply run both at the same time. In my environment I've 
created a round-robin DNS entry for the anti-virus/anti-spam server pool 
and simply tell the mail servers (Sendmail) to use a tcp/ip connection 
to the RR hostname of the pool. This allows the mail servers to operate 
efficiently and the milters, running on pooled systems, share the load 
and are very responsive. The round-robin DNS method is effective but a 
one to many BigIP queue would be better (and more expensive).

Anyway, the result is a very fault tolerant environment where the 
failure of multiple systems is non-fatal.
