Can you try something like this with a datagroup containing the original host header value, a space and then the host to redirect to on a single line? 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Log the request details 
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: [HTTP::method] to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" 
  
     Check if the requested host is in the my_hosts_class datagroup 
     The my_hosts_class should be a datagroup containing the host to match on 
     and the host to redirect to separated by a space: 
       host_orig_1 host_new_1 
       host_orig_2 host_new_2 
    set host [findclass [string tolower [HTTP::host]] $::my_hosts_class " "] 
  
     Check if there was a match 
    if {$host ne ""}{ 
  
       log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Matched $host" 
       HTTP::redirect "http://$host[HTTP::uri]" 
    } else { 
       HTTP::respond 200 content " Sorry, no match " 
       log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: No match" 
    } 
 }
