    Hello, I don't know about limitation of using json, you can try to use simple iRule:

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
if {[active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1} {  
    HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get ifile_name] 
}
}

    There should be no limitation on data types in an iFile. To further clarify your intentions, add a Content-Type header to the response:

    HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get ifile_name] "Content-Type" "application/json"
