IRules Logic and wild care at the end

I am trying to figure out a set of IRULES. They are working for the most part. Here is my issue. If the rules do not match my any of my uri (kinda like a wildcard) I want to redirect the connection to another site. Example I type in lms2.tyco-training.com into the address bar and I want to redirect it to http://lms.tyco-training.com/knav/nav?BU=10003010. If I put anything else after example : lms2.tyco-training.com/abc (does not match uri in my rules below I want it to go to this same page http://lms.tyco-training.com/knav/nav?BU=10003010. How do I add this wild card rule ?

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/dsc"} {

HTTP::redirect "http://lms2.tyco-training.com/knav/nav?BU=15002958"

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/kantech" } {

This URL:

http://lmsadmin2.tyco-training.com/assembler/dev

Redirects to:

http://lms2.tyco-training.com/knav/nav?BU=10003010

I dont want this site to redirect ? I want it to pass thru

If it didn't work, try to use starts_with instead of eq in:

 
 if { not ( \  
  ([string tolower {[HTTP::uri]}] starts_with "/knav/nav") or \  
  ([string tolower "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::path]"] starts_with \  
  "http://lmsadmin2.tyco-training.com/assembler/dev") \  
  ) }  {

Need some more help. As they did more testing we realized none of the graphic coming up on the the redirect pages. The redirect was trying to grab a image but getting redirect by catch all at the end. I am in same position as the first post.

I am trying to figure out a set of IRULES. They are working for the most part. Here is my issue. If the rules do not match my any of my uri (kinda like a wildcard) I want to redirect the connection to another site. Example I type in lms2.tyco-training.com into the address bar and I want to redirect it to http://lms.tyco-training.com/knav/nav?BU=10003010. If I put anything else after example : lms2.tyco-training.com/abc (does not match uri in my rules below I want it to go to this same page http://lms.tyco-training.com/knav/nav?BU=10003010. How do I add this wild card rule ?

Is there a way around this ?

thanks again

Do you know why I would come up with this error for the above Irule

01070151:3: Rule [LMS_New_11-18] error:

line 7: [parse error: PARSE syntax 128 {syntax error in expression " ( not ( \

([string tolower {[HTTP::uri]}] starts_with ...": character not legal in expressions}] [{ ( not ( \

([string tolower {[HTTP::uri]}] starts_with "/knav/nav") or \

([string tolower "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::path]"] eq \

"http://lmsadmin2.tyco-training.com/assembler/dev") \

)) and ([matchclass [HTTP::path] ends_with $::ForwardList]) \

}]

Thanks
