Gilbert,

I'm wondering whether both a redirect to https and checking about the pool members will work in a single iRule. I'm sure I will be corrected if wrong but I'd add the redirect to the http virtual server (which I presume you've got) and then have another iRule for the pool selection on the https virtual server. 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  if {[active_members HQ-Pool] < 1}{
     Send to the backup pool
    pool SC-Pool
  } 
  else {
     Send to the default pool
    pool HQ-Pool
}

Does this help your scenario?
