    Suppose you have 2 group Servers. DC1 Servers & DC2 Server. On Priority Group Activation

    Commom_pool_DC Method: Load Balancing Method & Priority Group Activation (1) Available Member

    1) x.x.x.x:xx Priority 10

    2) x.x.x.y:xx Priority 10 3) x.x.x.y:xx Priority 10

    4) a.a.a.a:pp Priority 20 5) a.a.a.a:pp Priority 20 6) a.a.a.a:pp Priority 20

    If minimum available member will be lesser then 1 then traffic will move to other DC servers. Assign to VIP.

    Other option to create two VIP with respect to DC. Apply iRule to VIP-1

            when HTTP_REQUEST {
                 if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 }
                     { HTTP::redirect "http://VIP2.com"
                 }
                }
    

    Paste if any problem
