Hi,

 

The issue with your iRule is that is doesn't not take into consideration the health status of your pool members.

 

I would suggest this: in the HTTP profile there is a property called "Fallback Host". When all your pool members are marked down by the monitor assigned to the pool, the bigip will send a 302 response.

 

Many thanks,

 

Karim

Thanks for the suggestion. So using http://www.statuspage.com/ as Fallback Host in the profile should do the job, instead of using a iRule, if I understand well?
