From your description or inclusion of the words "maintenance page", I think you are really looking for a redirect. Selecting a pool (or member for that matter) to use is a different type of decision that is made in the BigIP and determines where the users request(s) will be sent along to for processing.

 

 

You can also code the maintenance page directly on the BigIP. Use an HTTP::respond with the maintenance page contents if you do not want to redirect to another server/page. Simple pages that do not have any images or that have their images hosted elsewhere are fairly easy to send back from the BigIP in this manner.
