You can use your own HTML content in an iFile
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1 } { set ifileContent [ifile get "/Common/iFile-index.html"] HTTP::respond 200 content $ifileContent unset ifileContent } } -
You can simply respond with some static HTML
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1 } { HTTP::respond 200 content "put your html content here" } } -
You can issue a redirect to an external page
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1 } { HTTP::respond 302 Location "http://notfound.domain.com" } } -
Or as Nathan suggests you can simply use the fallback host option in the HTTP profile to force a redirect to an external site.
In all cases though you need a reasonably good monitor applied to the pool.
