Hi dlogsdonmd,

a nested 

[if]
iRule structure shouldn't be that complex to setup. You may take a look to the syntax below to see how your initial requirement can be glued within a rather simple iRule...

when HTTP_REQUEST {

     Parse the requested HOST-Name using lower case formating...

    set low_host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]

    if { $low_host equals "support.domain.org" } then { 

         Valid HOST-Name detected. Parse the requested PATH using lower case formating...

        set low_path [string tolower [HTTP::path]]

        if { $low_path starts_with "/customer" } then {

             Redirect the request...

            HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/servicedesk/customer/portals" 

        } elseif { $low_path starts with "/agents" } then {

             Redirect the request...

            HTTP::redirect "https://support.domain.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa" 

        } else {

             Allow the request?

        }

    } else {

         Invalid HOST-Name requested

        HTTP::respond 404 content "Unrecognized request to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" "Content-Type" "text/html" 

    }

}

Note: The provided iRule uses a slightly more advanced syntax, by checking the requested Path/URI using lower case formating (more accurate).

Cheers, Kai
