I'd recommend simplifying your iRule to something like the following if you were still wanting to use it. Otherwise, I'd suggest using a Local Traffic Policy to check the uri (and if need be, the hostname), and assign the pool that way. Using the policy, you could just have a default pool, 

pool_B
assigned to the Virtual Server, and then in the policy change the pool for 
/
and 
/Paginas/default.aspx
. Because the policy method is built-in, it's more efficient than using an iRule.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    switch -glob -- [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
        "/" -
        "/paginas/default.aspx" {
            log local0. "Pool A: '[HTTP::path]'"
            pool  pool_A
        }
        default {
            log local0. "Pool B: '[HTTP::uri]'"
            pool pool_B
        }
    }
}
