No need for an addition to your iRule. You can simply turn on Cookie Persistence for the Virtual Server:

No that's not working as expected, because on the VIP there is a different pool configured. Therfore we created the iRule to route all traffic with /new-app to the second pool.

 

But the problem is that the string "/new-app" is only appearing the first time when i start the app. Afterwards the traffic is routed again to the default pool. And here was my idea to add a persistance for "/new-app" that the traffic is still routed over the pool from the new-app and not over the default pool.

 

I hope this was a little bit more clear. Hope you have another idea to solve this.
