Hi Parveez!

Reformatting the rule to make it readable. 🙂

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/" } { 
        node 10.10.10.10 80
    } else { 
        pool maintenance_page
    }
}

This rule would send all users for all requests that starts with "/" to node 10.10.10.10:80. Problem is that it would do so, no matter the state of the pool members and for all request (ie, website.com/PROD" start with "/" and so does "website.com/"). I don't believe there even is such a thing as a uri that does not start with "/".

The maintenance pool would never be used because the condition before it would always be true.
