Multiple iRules for a Virtual + HTTP redirect

I currently have an iRool that' redirecting traffic to a certain pool: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if { [HTTP::uri] contains "psreports" } { 
     pool CRMWEB_REPORTS 
  } 
  elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "PSOL" } { 
     pool CRMWEB_PSOL 
  } else { 
     pool CRMWEB 
  } 
 }

I also need to be able to redirect traffic from:

http://mycrm.xxx.com to http://mycrm.xxx.com/psp/crmprd01/?cmd=login

and the same for https. 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::uri] equals "mycrm.xxx.com" } { 
      redirect to "http://mycrm.xxx.com/psp/crmprd01/?cmd=login" 
    } 
 }

While the first rule is working perfectly, second one is not...

I am probably making a bunch of errors in the second rule...

PLEASE HELP!

    I think you might want HTTP::host in the second rule since HTTP::uri returns the URI path and not the host.

    Let me correct myself: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST {   
    if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {   
       redirect to "http://mycrm.xxx.com/psp/crmprd01/?cmd=login"   
    }   
 }

    What I can't figure out is how to make both rules to work on the same Virtual...

    Can I possibly combine them in one rule to look something like: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST {  
   if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {    
       HTTP::redirect "http://mycrm.xxx.com/psp/crmprd01/?cmd=login"  
   }  
   elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "psreports" } {  
      pool CRMWEB_REPORTS  
   }  
   elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "PSOL" } {  
      pool CRMWEB_PSOL  
   } else {  
      pool CRMWEB  
   }  
 }

    Your help is HIGHLY appreciated!
