NimbostratusLet's be clear, you are not redirecting anything in F5 at this point, all redirects you may receive originate from the end-server. Your iRule is selecting a specific pool, based on the visitors source IP-address. It's all your iRule does.
Now for the Error 404 received when requesting "http://xxx.com/", it is purely related to end-server configuration. If you would like to formulate a maintenance redirect inside F5, have a look at commands
HTTP::respond 302 location "http://www.maintenance.host"HTTP::redirect "http://www.maintenance.host"
abi1980_184094thanks Hannes Rapp for your valuable comments- abi1980_184094hannes would you be able to explain this part in a little deatil If you would like to formulate a maintenance redirect inside F5, have a look at commands HTTP::respond 302 location "http://www.maintenance.host" or HTTP::redirect "http://www.maintenance.host" - both commands invoke a HTTP 302 redirect to your maintenance page location. Cheers
