Thank you for reply.

If i use this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::host] eq "test.company.com"}{
      log local0. "Rewriting client request for host: [HTTP::header value Host], for URI: [HTTP::uri]"
      HTTP::header replace "host" "test.company.com"
      HTTP::uri "/programs/logic.php"
   }
}

the redirection will allways target the logic.php.

May I use it like this?

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::host] eq "test.company.com/branch1/workinggroup"}{
      log local0. "Rewriting client request for host: [HTTP::header value Host], for URI: [HTTP::uri]"
      HTTP::header replace "host" "test.company.com"
      HTTP::uri "/programs/logic1.php"
   }
}

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::host] eq "test.company.com/branch2/workinggroup"}{
      log local0. "Rewriting client request for host: [HTTP::header value Host], for URI: [HTTP::uri]"
      HTTP::header replace "host" "test.company.com"
      HTTP::uri "/programs/logic2.php"
   }
}
