NimbostratusDynamic redirect to fallback host
Hi Everybody,
I'm new to BigIP V9 and iRules, so I need your assistance with writing an iRule for a BigIP Loadbalancer that balances several webserver pools.
I have to build a rule that...
You should be able to tac that code to the end of the existing rule without a problem.
And as far as the code you're using, there isn't really another way of achieving the same thing, really. In BIG-IP v9.2 the LB::reselect command was introduced, which allows you to attempt a different server with the original (or re-written) request, but if you're simply looking to forward to a default maintenance page, it would function basically the same as a redirect, except it would look like only one request to the client.
