the conditions under which the mResponder isa used:
•
The default match rule
expression:
Responder to be used only for specific requests, then create an appropriate Match Rule expression to match
those requests; see "Using Match Rules" on page 207.
•
server selection:
URL that matches the match rule expression will be handled by the Responder specified in the match rule.
If you want the Responder to be used only if no servers (or particular servers) are available, select all (or
some) of the the
servers
Once a Responder is created, it can then be selected in a match rule's
some common Match Rule and Responder configurations.
Creating a Match Rule for a "Sorry Page"
The most common use of a Responder is to change the default match rule behavior when no servers are available in
a cluster. By default, every HTTP and HTTPS cluster is created with a
