Hi Deb,

Thanks again for your help. I've managed to apply my original rule to a non SSL virtual server and it work fine. I slightly modiifed it by adding the elseif so I can choose the node I wish to be re-directed to or none if no query paramas were found.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] contains "node=alpha" }{
    node xxx.xxx.xxx.111 80
  } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "node=beta" } {
    node xxx.xxx.xxx.112 80
  }
}

I'm afraid I didn't understand a lot of your commnents so I'm not sure the best way to proceed to the the SSL version working. I'll give you a little more info on our set-up incase that help explain better what I'm trying to do.

We have a number of websites hosted behind the BIG IP, some are HTTP some are HTTPS. The HTTPS certs are installed on the F5's and handled there and then non-encrypted traffic is passed to the web servers. Hopefully this will help.

Thanks

Rob
