Hi Thunderbird,

In a typical situation here is the following 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
            if the members within the pool drop below 1 active member then process my next request
  if { [active_members http_pool] < 1 } {
                Send request to a new virtual server
                 virtual my_post_processing_server
       }
}

This only works if the both the existing and the other virtual server is on the LTM

I hope this helps
