testing external connectivity
Is there a way within the irule to test the server I'm going to redirect to? Basically I want to redirect to http://redirectserver.com if certain criteria are met but only if that server is up and responding. The redirect server may (or may not) be located on the LTM running the irule.

- Well, technically, no....
...but if the redirect target server has a single static IP, you *could* define it as a member of a pool, apply an HTTP monitor, and verify status in an iRule before issuing the redirect...pool FallbackTestPool { member :80 monitor send recvrule RedirectIfFallbackUP { when { if {[LB::status pool FallbackTestPool member 80] != "up"} { HTTP::redirect "..." } else { } } }
HTH
/deb - is there a way to test the status of a pool itself not the individual members ?
- heard back from Deb...way to do this is
if {[active_members $CookiePool] > 0} {
thanks again Deb!!!!!
