URI Redirect

Hi,     We would like to redirect all traffic to our maintenance page, so far if someone calls the domain name for example "www.domainname.com" the irule works and redirects the person to "...
application delivery
dev
devops
iRules

It would be easier to handle if the maintenance page was in a unique directory. You could then check if the requested path started with that directory before redirecting them. This would avoid a redirect loop: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Check if URI does not start with "/maintenance" 
    if {not ([HTTP::path] starts_with  "/maintenance")}{ 
  
       HTTP::redirect  "/maintenance/maintenance.html" 
    } 
 }

As log as any files the /maintenance/maintenance.html page references are under the /maintenance/ directory, this should work.
