Ok, well that obviously didn't work once I tested it.

I made some additions to my iRule 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if { ( [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/admin" ) and ( [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.0.0.2] ) } { 
 HTTP::redirect "https://foo.com/admin/index/index/" 
  } else { 
  HTTP::redirect "https://foo.com/login/index/login/" 
  } 
 }

Is there a better way to accomplish restricting access to this url?
