A common gotcha with a Maintenance page is that if the pool members are all down, then the Virtual is marked down, and the connection is rejected before the irule can deliver content.

 

You need to ensure that the virtual state is disconnected from the pool member state. Or use a fallback host in the http profile to deliver the maintenance message
