    You should be using data classes for this task. Something similar to..

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     HTTP::redirect [class match -value [HTTP::uri] equals myclass]
  }
}

    Then define a string data class with your redirect requirements.

    Name                  Value
/home                 http://newhome.host.com/home
/home2                http://otherhome.host.com

I used to have to handle 1200 URL redirects at one go that way in the past.

 

But for each to his/her own way....
