Hi Andy, first-match is ok. HTTP and forwarding is needed. The problem in "Performance Layer 4" is that you only have access to FastHTTP profile which I'm not sure can handle HTTP operations. LTM Policy work with Layer 7 Virtual Server. In Layer 7, you have access to the full HTTP request if you enable HTTP profile in the virtual server.

 

Here is a SOL where all kind of HTTP profiles are explained, I'm not sure if that helps you:

 

I need to check tomorrow in our environment if the Layer4 is able to handle LTM Policies. I'm not sure about that.

 

I will come back to you tomorrow.
