Craig,

 

This is possible and common to do with a URI or TCP port switch iRule. If you are worried about different HTTP profiles etc. you could redirect to different VIPs on unique ports based on the URI. However, I would consult with Verisign to make sure you are not violating your agreement. They are specific on when you can use the same cert. Since you are terminating SSL on the BIGIP and not multiple copies on backend servers, you may not have any licensing issues.

 

 

Here is a doc from Verisign.

Hope this helps,
