iFile sorry page then redirect to correct VIP

I have a business request to host a sorry server page on the LTM, which is fine via iFiles. But they then want to redirect the client to the correct VIP and url after a timeout. Can this be done via irules after the iFile bit? LTM version is 11.5.4 HF4

    Hello,

     

    This is possible, In this case you can host maintenance page directly in the fail VS. You can create a maintenance page with javascritp that redirect user after a specific timeout...

     

    If you have to host your maintenance page on a specific dedicated VS you can do it too but with more complexity. You have to retrieve the referer of the defective VS then redirect the user afeter a timeout...

     

    Regards

    You could do something like insert a html meta refresh or some delayed javascript into the html of the iFile to then redirect the client off to the other VS
