Do you have a virtual server just for port 80 or also for port 443? And how are the poolmembers configured for each?

And even if your application is doing some redirects as well, the LB and iRule will be triggered before.

Please try this again:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/abc" } {
        log local0. "redirect triggered"
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://[HTTP::host]/xyz/hi"
    }
}

You can also try some browser analyze tools like Fiddler or HTTPWatch to verify if the redirect really doesn't be triggered.

Ciao Stefan 🙂
