Rule Modification Help with Switch

Hi all, I have the following existing rule that we will be adding another pool to. I am using the switch command, but am wondering if I need to add some if/else clauses. Here's the existing rule: ...
application delivery
dev
devops
irules

The only thing I can see is that you are doing a "string tolower" on your URI but comparing it to "/BPro*" which is not lower case. That was my bad for not noticing that in the previous post. First thing I would do would be to replace "/BPro*" with "/bpro*". If that doesn't work, you'll need to do some logging to look at the inbound URI's and then where they are getting matched. This can be done with something like this: 

when HTTP_REQUEST {  
   log local0. "Request for URI [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]" 
   switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {  
     "/clientmismo/order.asp*" -  
     "/vendormismo2/status.asp*" -  
     "/vmsxml/order.asp*" -  
     "/vmsxml/status.asp*" -  
     "/_xmlbeta/ors/status_mismo21.asp*" -  
     "/_xmlbeta/ors/status.asp*" -  
     "/_xmlbeta/ors/rels_status_mismo21.asp*" -  
     "/vendornla/status.asp*" {  
       log local0. "Matched first case" 
       pool beta3.res-direct.com_B2B_HTTPS  
     }  
     "/bpro*" {  
       log local0. "Matched /bpro*" 
       pool beta3.res-direct.com_BatchPro_HTTPS  
     }  
     default {  
       log local0. "Match not found, defaulting to beta3.res-direct.com_GUI_HTTPS pool" 
       pool beta3.res-direct.com_GUI_HTTPS  
     }  
   }  
 }

Run a request through this and look in your /var/log/ltm logfile on your BIG-IP to see where it's going wrong.

Hope this helps...
