The LTM will be returning the message "Please bookmark the next page", and not the IIS server?

After the message is delived to the client browser, I must add the syntax to then redirect the client using the syntax below.

 

one of example is to send html page with meta refresh tag similar to the codeshare below.

    Now I understand. This makes sense. I have asked our WEB application group to give me the HTML code for the "message". The maintenance page code is great, I have been useing redirects to maintenance pages for some time, this code will be an improvement. Very grateful for your help. George
