    I played around and come up with this and meet my requirements

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::host] contains "john" }

     

    { HTTP::redirect "http://whoisjohn.a.com/shortname=[substr [HTTP::uri] 1]"

     

    }

     

    }

     

    substr "1" command basically strips of the "/" on the client request

Untested:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::host] eq "john.a.com") and ([string length [HTTP::uri]] < 3) } {
set NEW_URI [string map {/ /shortname=} [HTTP::uri]] 
HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://whois.[HTTP::host]$NEW_URI"
}
}
