iRule Help Please

I'm trying to combine L7 Load Balancing with sending a maintenance page if the pool/pools are down. Please see below.

 

Code when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [class match [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals _http_pools] } {
    pool [class match -value [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals _http_pools]
}
}

and trying to combine the following

 

Code when HTTP_REQUEST {
set VSPool [LB::server pool]
if { [active_members $VSPool] < 1 } {
log local0. "Client [IP::client_addr] requested [HTTP::uri] no active nodes available..."
HTTP::respond 200 content "



We'll be back!

    Hi Pierrejn,

    the iRule below is a combination of your two dedicated iRules...

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    set VSPool [class match -value [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals _http_pools]
    if { $VSPool ne "" } then {
        if { [active_members $VSPool] > 0 } then {
            pool $VSPool
        } else {
            log local0. "Client [IP::client_addr] requested [HTTP::uri] no active nodes available..."
            HTTP::respond 200 content "

    
        
        We'll be back!
