A HTTP::redirect doesn't affect any of the current variables (HTTP::host or HTTP::uri), it just sends a HTTP redirect reply to the browser. By using these variables in your log statement, you will be accessing the values of the current original request (which isn't what you want). Why don't you just hard code the whole value in the log.

 

 

 when HTTP_REQUEST {
  log local0. "Uri is [HTTP::uri]"
  if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {
    log local0. "redirecting to http://www.yada.com/1/2/3/"
    HTTP::redirect "http://www.yada.com/1/2/3/"
  } 
}
