The rule looks fine. Just make sure that you have it associated with the VIP under the VIP's resources tab.

You can add a log statement to determine the exact host and URI the client is requesting:


when HTTP_REQUEST {
   log local0. "client: [IP::remote_addr] -> [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
   if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "beta.mywebsite.com"}{
      pool pool_A
   }
   else {
      pool pool_B
   }
}
