I think the first irule event was more correct, but needs a monitor tweak. 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/config"} { 
     HTTP::uri /main 
     } 
 }

You don't need the response unless you want to change the response towards the client.

Another way is a redirect 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/config"} { 
     HTTP::redirect http://[HTTP::host]/main 
     } 
 }

Hope this helps
