It sounds like all you're trying to do is redirect to a second host name, preserving the URI, but making sure that no matter what the URI was, it starts with /xyz/ first. Your concern is that you don't want to end up with a URI that starts with /xyz/xyz/, right? A simple if clause will solve that problem for you.

So I think what you're looking for is something like:


when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz" } {
    HTTP::redirect "http://example2.com[HTTP::uri]"
  } else {
    HTTP::redirect "http://example2.com/xyz[HTTP::uri]"
  }
}

Does that sound about right? If I missed something, let me know.
