F5 LTM - iRule that will replace the host, remove the path and send traffic to the specific pool

Hi,

You can have below iRules on your VS to achieve your requirement.

iRule 1 -

when HTTP_REQUEST {
               if { ([HTTP::host] equals "example.com") && ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/vpc") } {
                              HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://example2.net"
               }
}

iRule 2 - For Pool selection

when HTTP_REQUEST 
{
    switch [HTTP::host] {
 
	"example2.net" {pool example2_pool}
	
                         }
                   }

You can bind these iRules to your virtual server so it will match for desired requests, rest requests will be forwarded to the default pool.

Hope it helps!
