unable to redirect to a different page on another pool

splash.html is a static page with our maintenance hours. It is hosted on another web server in our private LAN. And I have put that web server into a separate pool. In my example, that would be poolB.

 

I think I can get around this by creating a dedicated virtual server with another real Internet IP. But I don't want to waste an IP address just for this purpose.

 

 

So here is a pseudo code of what I want to do.

 

- someone access https://my.server.com/login.jsp

 

 

irule:

 

if active_memebers of poolA < 0

 

then use poolB and use this page instead https://[http::host]/splash.html

 

 

Does this make sense? Or is there a better and easy way to do this?

 

 

Thanks.
