Using F5 as a fall back host

Hello:     Is any using the F5 device itself as a fall back host? I would like to host the maintenance page on the device itself if possible instead of having another server as the fallback host...

Actually, I don't even use the RULE_INIT event. The entire response is an image:


class sorrypage {
   type string
   filename "/var/class/unavailable.class"
}
rule sorrypage-rule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {[active_members http-pool] == 0} {
    HTTP::respond 200 content [b64decode [lindex $::sorrypage 0]] "Content-Type" "image/png"
  }
}
}
