Hey,

HI if some can point where to configure scenerio where when someone will visit `somewebsite.com` then it will get an error page with information " soory this service isnt avaiable any more".

Is it possible to achieve it on WAF without creating another web server where WAF will have to forward traffic?

Hello Roman

If your server pool has health-check, like ping, TCP or other, when the back-end server is not reachable then you will have a message like this when you try access the VS:

 

waf.png

 

So I don't currently know a clean solution, but as workaround you can configure the pool with health-check and a fake (non-existing) back-end server.

You can also customize the error message above via menu "System .. Config .. Replacement Message".

Hope it helps.
