I have a performance layer 4 HTTPS Virtual server.
I would like to serve a custom page when all pool members are down. What are my options?
I see that we can use F5 L...

NoctilucentIf you aren't terminating the SSL on the LTM, then you aren't going to be able to provide a direct maintenance page response. You can however direct client traffic to another pool in the event the one assigned to your virtual server has no available members. Ideally this maintenance_pool would contain one or more members that would serve up your maintenance page. Something like this:
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1} {
pool maintenance_pool
}
}
Terminating SSL will give you a wealth of additional options, if that's a possibility for you.

NoctilucentThe pool members you define in the maintenance_pool will determine which port the communications will be sent to. As long as your maintenance_pool members are listening on that port, then a page should be served. You may need to change the virtual server type to standard in order to make this work though.
