https traffic through LTM with fallback host

I am trying to create a https virtual server to pass ssl traffic across to our servers.

 

That is, I am trying to pass the traffic directly to the server without having LTMs encrypt/decrypt request.

 

And I am trying to use a Fallback Host with HTTP profile.

 

That is, when the pool member of https virtual server is down , then the connection should redirect to http://sorry.domain.com/.

 

 

I understand in this scenario, an HTTP profile cannot be used.

 

Isn't there any method of realizing some requirements?

    Hi Toto,

     

     

    You can use an iRule for this:

     

     

    https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.HTTPS_passthrough_fallback_URL.ashx

     

     

    You'll need to import the server SSL cert/key so that TMM can decrypt the HTTPS and send a response when the pool is down. If the pool is up, no decryption is done on TMM.
