Hi Steve,

I think you would be looking at something like that, although I am not completely certain because I am not sure that I fully understand your post :

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
    "shorturl.com"  {
      HTTP::respond 301 Location http://www.shorturl.com[HTTP::uri]
    }
    "www.shorturl.com" {
      HTTP::respond 301 Location http://hubspotcustomer.a4029.hubspot.com[HTTP::uri]
    }
  }
}

So if someone came in using shorturl.com/client1, he/she would be redirected to , and then the next request coming in for would get redirected to http://hubspotcustomer.a4029.hubspot.com/client1. The query string would follow as well if you have one as [HTTP::uri] contains both path and query string.
