Checking if Virtual Server disabled within iRule

Within an iRule, is there a way to check if a virtual server is disabled?   My goal is to display a pretty maintenance page if a virtual server is administratively disabled (as opposed to down)....

An iRule associated is not triggered except in response to certain events after a connection has been established to the virtual server its associated with (CLIENT_ACCEPTED and beyond). If the virtual server is manually disabled, no new connections are allowed to it, hence no iRule associated with it will ever trigger.
