Hello,

If you do not know how to create an iRule to this case, you can try an LTM policy and do the same thing, which can help you easely.

Anyway, You could do like this:

e.g. 1

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    Path is portal.hml or not begins with /business/portal.
    if { [HTTP::path] eq "/business/portal.html" ||  not ( [HTTP::path] starts_with "/business/portal." ) } {
        pool pool1
    } else {
        pool pool2
    }
}

e.g. 2

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    Path begins with "/business/portal." and is not "/business/portal.html"
    if { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/business/portal." && [HTTP::path] ne "/business/portal.html" } {
        pool pool2
    } else {
        pool pool1
    }
}

If url is case insensitive, you may need to change it into. e.g.

[string tolower [HTTP::path]] eq "/test.html"
or 
[string toupper [HTTP::path]] eq "/TEST.HTML"
