    If all you want to do is redirect any and all requests for www.xxx.com to www.yyy.com, the following should do it: 

      
  when HTTP_REQUEST {  
      HTTP::redirect http://www.yyy.com  
    }

    Simply apply this to the VIP of www.xxx.com, and you're done.

    I'm curious to know more about the use-case though. Is this for a 'maintenance page' or something like that, which will be shown when the main site is down? There may be a more elegant way to get where you want to go...
