Awesome stuff Jason, I need some help in getting an irule for this. Aim is to get the sample ifile "helloworld" triggered when the active pool members is < 1. I created the following irule - when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1 } { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get helloworld] } else { discard } } It is working fine when all the members of a pool are down, BUT when they are up I do not get any response back from the VS. Can you please advise?
