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...

The version you have listed should work fine. As there isn't any conflict between the two rules, you could also add them separately on the same VIP without any issues. The HTTP_RESPONSE event won't trigger if you're sending a response using HTTP::respond. And I don't think there is any issue with trying to decode the cookie even if you're sending a redirect. It's basically up to you as to which is easier to manage.
