Hi,

You can use the following irule : 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::host] eq "abc.com" } {
        HTTP::respond 302 noserver Location "http://xyz.com" Connection Close
         alternative : HTTP::redirect "http://xyz.com"
    }
}

Or you may prefer to use an LTM policy for that.

Yes sure. it's still valid.

I prefer using 

HTTP::respond
but you can also use 
HTTP::redirect
. I prefer the first option because you have more control on the response like removing Server header, Closing connection, etc.
