Hi,

Just to avoid too many redirects you could apply this iRule to your http virtual servers. 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::redirect "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]/welcome/welcome.htm"
}

I think you'll have a problem with the second iRule because the redirect statement is not complete, you have to define the full URL.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]/example1/example.htm"
    }
}
