    There is an option called "recv disable" string which if received will disable the member.

     

    From the monitor configuration monitor monwebserver { defaults from https recv disable "MAINTENANCE" recv "PASS" send "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: abc.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n } This will disable the member if MAINTENANCE is received and will enable it if PASS is received. when its disabled it will allow existing connections.

Mui, I've gone ahead and flagged this as the correct answer, even though we were not able to implement it. I appreciate your prompt and accurate answer. Our admin checked and said the 'recv disable' feature is not available until version 10.2. We are currently on 10.0, and apparently no upgrade is planned for our enterprise anytime soon.
