You don't need a default pool in this situation, you could have your iRule redirect to a generic page if you wanted a "catch everything else" set-up.

Something like this would work


when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/123"} {

  } elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/456"} {
    pool 456
  } else {
    HTTP::redirect http://some.other.address/
  }
}
