Virtual Server responds to health checks
Hi. I currently have a configuration where a device upstream from my BIG-IP 6400 is doing health checks against the BIG-IP. I also want the health checks to fail if my virtual server is showing down. However, my experience with the monitors show that even if the virt is down the BIG-IP will still respond to the health check on that virt unless the BIG-IP itself is down. Therefore, I'm attempting to write an iRule to redirect the upstream health check in order to somehow cause a failure. I am wondering if anyone else has run into this problem or if any templates exist that could assist me in this effort.
