Rewrite HTTP response when error code received

Hi I need to capture 500 errors and when I receive them return a preformated error page. This page will sit on a different domain (where the digital publishing team can update it quickly) and there...
application delivery

iRules

Thnaks for all the help. I have taken a rather simplistic view on this and just done a simple HTTP::respond

 HTTP::respond 302 noserver Location "https://existing.domain.com/federror"

Then in the top part of the iRule i have added:

} elseif {($requestedURI starts_with "/error") or ($requestedURI starts_with "/content")} {
      pool /PARTITION/POOL_HOSTING_ERROR_PAGE

And this is working.

Thanks

    While that technically may work, it could result in problems with SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

    Arie - I shoudl have made it clear - the domain will remain the same - its just the request for content that will go to the pool of content servers. So i believe SEO will remain unaltered.
