Hi Mark,

 

 

I don't think there is a way to determine the number of active pool members in 4.x. You can configure a fallback host on the pool though so that BIG-IP will send a redirect to the client if the connection to the pool fails. Another option would be to configure a lower priority member (or members) to send the requests to if the higher priority members are not available.

 

 

See SOL7051 (Click here) for details on these two options.
