Hi Cris,

 

 

In 4.x, there isn't a method for the BIG-IP to respond with HTML to a client. The BIG-IP can only issue an HTTP 302 redirect (either from a rule or as configured in a fallback host). Try searching reading in the BIG-IP reference guide for your version on iRules 'redirect to' command or the fallback host option on pools.

 

 

In 9.x, you can use the HTTP::respond command to send a customized response back to the client.
