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

Hi,   I have a standard VIP on port 443 with SSL client and servers side profile and some pool on port 443 as well.   What I need to implement on that VIP is: when the path begins with /VPC (...
application delivery
hostname
iRules
LTM
path
redirect
Replace
uri

Hello, please correct me if my understanding is wrong. If user access example.com/vpc, you want to redirect request to separate pool and user/client should see example2.net URL under browser/application. And rest requests should be serve by default pool.

    The rest request should also be sent to the pool for example2.net. I think I understand your point. For second request there might be no VCP in the path so user with example.com or example2.net will be directed to default pool. So...the user needs to see example2.net so his request can still be send to the second pool. Correct me if I am wrong but after the HTTP response the user will have the hostname from the web server that send him the data - example2.net/something. Even if no redirect has been send to him before. Then the second irule would do his job.
