Cirrusyou can do it without an irule if you just have 2 servers on different ports.
e.g. ip:8080, ip:8081 in the same pool.
- create a monitor to monitor the app.
- Use priority group, and assign the primary server a higher priority, e.g. 99, set the priority to 1 for the backup.
give it a try and see if it works as you require.

Marc_13733That would work 99% of the time I guess. The thing is: we've put a sniffer (Fiddler) on :8080 (proxying to 8081) and want it to log 100% of requests. Just if it crashes (which it did yesterday) should F5 fallback to 8081. With the 99% solution we'd miss logging 1% of the traffic which we would like to avoid.
