redirect url to another pool

Do I need to add "contains" into the irule so similar URL's with test.xyz.com/test/hello will get sent to the correct vip?we use HTTP::host, so test.xyz.com/test/hello will still match the "test.xyz.com" in switch.

 

 

URL is test.xyz.com/test/hello

 

HTTP::host is test.xyz.com

 

HTTP::uri is /test/hello

additionally, you are able to use glob-style matching in switch i.e. -glob.
