    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 } {
		node remote-vs-ip port
	}
}

    Example:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 } {
		node 10.11.12.13 443
	}
}

Thanks  redirection happened but got into another issue.

 

We have SAML / SSO auth enabled. When the traffic hit the VIP, it got redirected to the other VIP, from the backend server it went to the auth & again got loaded back to the 1st VIP itself, kinda creating a loop.

 

Any suggestions for this.
