    Either (this is probably more efficient);

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::host] ends_with ".olddomain.com"} {
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] . 1].newdomain.com[HTTP::uri]"
       }
}

    Or;-

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::host] ends_with ".olddomain.com"} {
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[string map {olddomain newdomain} [HTTP::host]][HTTP::uri]"
       }
}

Awesome! Thanks!!

This one fits the bill nicely and is efficient:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::host] ends_with ".olddomain.com"} {
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[string map {olddomain newdomain} [HTTP::host]][HTTP::uri]"
       }
}
