If you want to send requests for newapp.xxx.edu to one server (or set of servers) and all other requests to another set of servers, you could create two pools (one for the new app and one for all other requests) and then use an iRule to route the requests by the host header value to the corresponding pool: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
    switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { 
       "newapp.xxx.edu" { 
           Request was for newapp, so use the newapp HTTP pool

           Request was not for newapp so use the default pool 
          pool default_http_pool 
       } 
 }
