Mayur, we eventually found that article and were able to come up with the irule below which got us working. The switch statement is just some tweaks that are custom for our particular site. Thanks!

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] contains "oldhostname.com" } {
    set newhost "newhostname.com"
    set newpath [string map {"/oldpath/" "/newpath/"} [HTTP::uri]]
    HTTP::redirect "https://$newhost$newpath"
    return
  } else {
      switch [HTTP::uri] {
        "/" -
        "/oldpath" -
        "/oldpath/" -
        "/oldpath/login/" -
        "/newpath/login/" { HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/newpath/login" }
        default {}
      }
      return
    }
}
