The one additional issue I am struggling with now is that if I put all nodes in "disable mode" and then return a "maintenance" page I will interrupt existing sessions. I am wondering about trying to use something like LB:persist to determine if the client already has a session and if so allow them to age off normally but redirect any new sessions to the maintenance page. I tried to set a variable in a similar fashion to the is_disabled object and then make decision based on this value. However, I don't seem to be finding a session when I expect to using this function. are you talking about persistence record? if yes, can you try "persist lookup"?
