can't get HTTP::redirect to work

If you check the /var/log/ltm log file, you should see runtime TCL errors indicating an invalid command of 1 or 0. If you add the IP::addr command it should work fine:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 192.168.98.232]}{
      HTTP::redirect "http://192.168.30.53/index.html"
   }
}

Note that the forward command will cause LTM to forward the request without load balancing to the VIP's default pool. The destination address won't be translated. So you can remove the else clause and then LTM will use the VIP's default pool for any non-matching IP.
