    If you want to direct the requests based on the HTTP host header, you can use a rule like this:

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   set host [string tolower [HTTP::host]]
   if { $host ends_with "deve.com" }{
      if { $host == "www.deve.com" }{
         pool www.deve.com_pool
      }
      elseif { $host == "deve.com" }{
         pool deve.com_pool
      }
   }
   else {
      pool default_pool
   }
}

    You will need to configure a VIP with a clientssl profile.

    Note that as this is HTTPS, you will need to have already presented a certificate for www.deve.com, deve.com or *.deve.com (wildcard cert) in order to decrypt the traffic and apply the rule.

    If you don't use a wildcard cert, the browser will prompt the user to accept the cert when a client makes a request to the VIP using a hostname that isn't listed in the CN field of the cert.
