Hi super,

  1. irules work with host, uri, path, query, parameters... not URL...
  2. your 2 exceptions are one as this is the same path... only the query string is different and I'm not sure you want to check every parameter values.

this is an irule that can help you to begin:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::host] equals "domain1.com"} {
        switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
            "/researcharchive.asp" {return}
            default {HTTP::redirect http://domain2.domain.com/economic-research-unit}
        }
    }
}
