Presenting an unavailable webpage when pool is down (Thick Client)
I think wnat you may be after is the LB_FAILED event
when LB_FAILED {
Either all pool members are down OR the pool member selected has not responded
HTTP::respond 503 content "Sorry your page is down" noserver Retry-After 300
return
}
Alternatively if you happen to have the sorry page locally stored in an iFile;-
when LB_FAILED {
Either all pool members are down OR the pool member selected has not responded
HTTP::respond 503 -version 1.1 content [ifile get "sorry_page_html"] noserver Content-Type "text/html;charset=utf-8" Server $server Retry-After 300 noserver
return
}

Hi all,
Thanks for your responses. These are all plausible solutions however, because of the thick client front end, I would also need to get the client PC to launch IE/Firefox/Chrome etc. the present this page. Is this achievable?
Regards,
Ed

Can you configure you thick client to recognise the 503 response code and display it's own page (rather than the one delievred from the server/LTM)?
I dodn't think you're going to get any answers from this forum about your client configuration - you'll need to discuss internally what your options are.
