I'd suggest you make use of a Data Group. Here's an example; 


Create a Data Group with string and value pairs of the source URI and 
associated URI to be redirected to. E.g string=/olduri1, value=/newuri1

when HTTP_REQUEST {
 Compare the request URI with the strings in the uri-dg data group
 and populate the variable: redirect with the associated value if 
 there is a match
 set redirect [class match -value [HTTP::uri] equals uri-dg]
   
  As long as our variable: redirect isn’t empty, perform the redirect
  if { $redirect ne "" } {
   HTTP::redirect $redirect 
  } 

  If there wasn’t a match and variable: redirect is empty, do something
  else instead
  else {
   log local0. "No redirect occurred for: [HTTP::uri]"    
  }
}
