Generate a page after service has been moved off the F5

Hi guys we have a service that will be moving behind a different URL in a different country and we can't identify all the users not using DNS. So my plan is to use an iRule to create a page with simple text letting them know of the change with a clickable link. I'm sure it's been done before but I can't find a sample...

 

 

I'm still new so I've tried taking apart other iRules designed for presenting a status page or node count but couldn't get it to work.

 

 

Requirement: Add an iRule to a VIP which generates a static page with a message and a html link

    Hi JoeBlogs1759,

    You could write up an irule that redirects them to a different URL

    I.E. 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
        HTTP::redirect "http://newdomain.com/"
}

    Does that work?

    We don't want to automatically redirect them as they will never change the URL. What we would like to do is generate a simple page with the message

     

    "This address has changed!"

     

    "Please use http://joe.bloggs.com"

     

    "You will not be redirected"
