Downtime redirect
I am trying to figure out the best way to redirect an application when it is determined to be down. This unfortunately has to be a manual process in determining if the app is down or not. What we would like to do is have the load balancer look for a file on a web server that will be put in place when we consider the app down, and when it sees that page up, it will direct users to that web site rather than the actual application pool. Can someone please lead me in the right direction. I would expect that I need an I-Rule for that virtual server stating something such as:
Example:
Use poolA (app down page) if true
else
Use poolB (normal appliction)
Please let me know if you need additional information.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
