I don't think so as the full URI is not part of the HTTP header or payload. But, after talking with some folks (thanks uRuleY), I realized that you could use the server_port to distinguish whether it's an ssl connection or not. You could do something like the following 

 if (server_port == 443) {  
    redirect to "www.yahoo.com"  
  } else {  
    redirect to "www.msn.com"  
  }

That is assuming that you are using standard https ports which it looks like from your URLs.

Keep in mind that this isn't guaranteed to work if the user does something like

http://vip:443

But that probably wouldn't work anyway if you have your vip expecting SSL traffic.
