Done some modification in above irule. Rest every thing is correct.

     when HTTP_REQUEST {
        if {[string tolower[HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/abc"} {
          pool pool1 }
        elseif {[string tolower[HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/def"} {
           pool pool2 }
    }

Instead of using iRules, you can also use a ltm policy, which makes it more visible:

 

Name: select_pool Requires: http Controls: forwarding

 

Rule: forward_pool1 Condition: http-uri starts_with /abc Action: forward pool pool1 Rule: forward_pool2 Condition: http-uri starts_with /def Action: forward pool pool2

 

It may require some more configuring then using an iRule but instead of using TCL code, you get an clear overview what the policy does.
