Do 'server.server1.com' and 'server.server2.com' resolve to the same IP address?
One thing you could do is to replace the certificate used on the https virtual server where you want to do the redirects on, to include both 'server.server1.com' and 'server.server2.com'. The handshake would then complete successfully and then you could do the http redirect.
Otherwise an iRule based on the http_request event won't work without security warning errors on the browsers.
