Hi RDessert,

 

 

You may also want to look at creating a Custom Health Check that would do what you are trying to accomplish as well.

 

 

Example:

 

You create a monitor for an Windows Service that you don't normally use (like TCP Print Services on Windows which runs on Port 515). Apply the monitor to the server pool and allow your Application Support Teams to control which servers are available in the pool by Enabling/Starting and Disabling/Stopping the Windows Service directly on the servers.

 

 

This would require that they have access to start and stop Windows Services, but it is a simpler solution (less administrative overhead) than an iRule solution which would require on going collaboration with the Application Teams.

 

 

Just another option.

 

 

Hope this helps.
