contains? starts_with? equals?

If for some reason "equals" isn't working for you, you might want to try a switch command with glob matching.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   switch -glob [HTTP::uri] { 
     "*/123/*" { 
       pool 123 
     } 
     "/456/*" { 
       pool 456 
     } 
     default { 
       pool 789 
     } 
   } 
 }

Make sure you don't have case comparison issues (ie. "/A" won't match "/a"). If you need mixed case, enclose the HTTP::uri with a "string tolower".

And, if all else fails, throw in some log statements to help diagnose why your matches aren't succeeding. Could be there are some trailing GET variables in the URI that you aren't accounting for.
