CSS 11501 out of service page

[davidsharples]

Hi, got a CSS11501. With a load balanced service to two web servers. What I would like to do is put an out of service page on the content switch for when we do maintenance and we need to take the actual web services down. So when the CSS relaises the service is down on bothe nodes, it displays this page instead. Is this actually possible, searched through the docs but unsure of the terminology or if it is actually possible.

Thanks

this is not possible for the CSS to actually display a Web page when responding to a client.

However, you can configure a redirect service that will send the client to another location/webserver that can display whatever message you need.

This config is explained @

Another alternative is to use a SorryServer which will send the requests to another server when all your other services are down for a particular content rules.
