Try this, it will check to see if you have a pool created that matches the http hostname_pool and if not go to your default pool. If it does it will go to the corresponding pool.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [getfield [HTTP::host] "." 1] ends_with "tr"}{
        if { [catch {pool [string tolower "[HTTP::host]_pool"]}] }{
            pool "default_pool"
        }
        else {
            pool [string tolower "[HTTP::host]_pool"]
        }
    }
}

probably throw a string to lower in there in case someone requests with caps, when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [catch {pool [string tolower "[HTTP::host]_pool"]}] }{ pool "default_pool" } else { pool [string tolower "[HTTP::host]_pool"] } }

This will not satisfy the problem posed.
