    Maybe something like this...

    when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if { ([HTTP::status] equals "404") } {
    HTTP::respond 404 content " "
    }
}

Which when added together becomes;-

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
        set 404_page " " 

    if {![active_members [LB::server pool]]} {
        HTTP::respond 404 content $404_page Edge-Control "bypass-cache" Cache-Control "nocache"
        return
    }
}

OR

    when HTTP_RESPONSE {
        set 404_page " " 

    if { [HTTP::status] == 404} {
        HTTP::respond 404 content $404_page Edge-Control "bypass-cache" Cache-Control "nocache"
        return
    }
}
