WEB: Server-Pool all members down, option to redirect to a website with customized error page?

[PatrWeic]

Hi,

Coming from F5, where they use a fallback server entry, i.e. you can redirect the clients to an customizable server to display an error message.

in FWEB I have not found a possiblity to do this, only to add a member and specify this as the backup server.

It would have been interesting to use a redirect instead of specifying an additional member.

A Backup server should be ok, but are there some reasons why a redirect would be better (certificates, host header, direct connection client instead of through fweb? .....

What you are describing is a feature set used more commonly by ADC technologies like F5 vs. traditional WAF, but is something to take into consideration for future development efforts.

NOTE: 
FortiADC, which competes directly with F5, supports this option and also includes WAF features. 
Here is a reference link on this setting option:
