You could do this a couple of different ways. One way you might try is with the string trim left command.

Something like


when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {[HTTP::host] contains "soa"} {
    if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/prd/"} {
      HTTP::uri [string trimleft [HTTP::uri] /prd]
      pool POOL_SOA_PRD
    }
    if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/ppd/"} {
      HTTP::uri [string trimleft [HTTP::uri] /ppd]
      pool POOL_SOA_PPD
    } else {
       THIS IS ONLY HERE SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP TESTING
      pool POOL_SOA_PRD
    }
  }
}
