You'll need to create a pool, pl_redirect_pool with an HTTP monitor and Server1 and Server2 as members. Then try this rule (note you need to hardcode the IPs of Servers 1 and Server 2 in here also);-

when RULE_INIT { 

   set ::whichone 0 
   set ::servers [list "x.x.x.x" "y.y.y.y"]
    Unfortunately have to hardcode the server IPs here
   set ::redirs  [list "http://Server1/xyz" "http://Server2/xyz"]

} 
when HTTP_REQUEST { 

     if  { [LB::status pool pl_redirect_pool member [lindex $servers $::whichone] 80] eq "up" } {}
        HTTP::redirect [lindex $::redirs $::whichone]
     else {
        HTTP::redirect [lindex $::redirs [expr ! $::whichone]] 
     }

      set ::whichone [expr ! $::whichone] }
}

Hi IheartF5 --> I am getting an error while saving the rule, seems like it doesn't want to take the arguments: 01070151:3: Rule [/Common/App_redirection2] error: /Common/App_redirection2:12: error: [wrong args][HTTP::redirect [lindex $::redirs $::whichone] else { HTTP::redirect [lindex $::redirs [expr ! $::whichone]] }] /Common/App_redirection2:18: error: [command is not valid in the current scope][}]
