Not sure you'd want irules for this, just use an http monitor and have it poll occasionally for /active or something. Whilst that returns a 200 you'll have an active server, rename it or such like, and the device will become unavailable. You can easily expand on this logic, maybe make it a reverse monitor looking for a /offline.txt file or something.
