Hi folks,
We have a public IP that NATs to an internal Barracuda Load Balancer VIP that represents several sites, content rules, etc.
I am being asked if we could temporarily change the NAT translation at the firewall to redirect to a maintenance page while we take these servers down for patching, instead of editing rules at the Load Balancer.
It sounds possible to me, just change the NAT rule temporarily to a Web Server that has the appropriate maintenance page and then change it back after patching.
Does that sound right? Or would there be a better or more best practice way to handle this?

Hi,
Yeah, why not. This should work fine. In your DNAT policy change destination ip to your temporary server ip address as you have already mentioned.
