NimbostratusOops - posted prematurely. The iRule could be something like the following:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::path] ends_with "stop") } {
set ::allow 0
}
elseif { ([HTTP::path] ends_with "go") } {
set ::allow 1
}
else {
if { ($::allow == 0) } {
HTTP::redirect http://somewhereelse.com
}
}
}
Then the app server when send a http request to the same virtual server with the path ending with "stop" or "go" to control the flow.
I would recommend that you use iControl to do this though as iControl is meant to give you programmtic control of virtual servers. However, your approach is certainly interesting. 8-)
