iRule to not redirect from certain source addresses

Hi All,

 

I apply a very simple iRule to a VIP to redirect all traffic to a maintenance splash page. However i need to add the option for certain source IPs to function normally.

 

At present the iRule shows

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::redirect }

 

How do i get it to allow certain specific hosts to function normally?

    Something like this:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { !( [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.1.0.0/25] ) } {
        HTTP::redirect http://x/x/maintenance.html
    }
}

    You can make it even better by using a datagroup.
