Configuring Virtual Service to retry requests on timeout

Hi all, I want to configure the following behaviour: if one server has not answered on http request in e.g. 1 second, the request will be resent to another server. Is it possible?  
application delivery
devops
htt::retry

You can use the irule for doing this.

Sample irule is below.

when LB_FAILED {
   if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] > 0 } {
      catch { LB::down }
      LB::mode rr
      LB::reselect
   }
}

This iRule allows a client-side connection to remain open after a pool member has become unresponsive.
