    i havent testet it, but i think it should work if you put site1.com in a pool with a http monitor and check active_members.

    Something like that

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] eq "mainsite.com" } {

if { [active_members pool_site1] > 0 } {
HTTP::redirect http://site1.com

 } Else {
HTTP::redirect http://site2.com
}
}
