The local servers have finally been configured to support SSL. When i try adding a pool (containing the servers listening on port 443) to the SSL VIP, the irule tries to rewrite the headers for the local traffic. I just need the traffic that is being redirected to the external site to have the headers rewritten

I can't figure out what do you mean by local traffic and external site, can you please explicitly tell what traffic should have the headers rewritten -your classification condition-.

Also, www.abc.com/careers/jobs/search needs to go to the local pool while www.abc.com/careers/jobs/* (everything else) needs to still redirect to the external site

Both /careers/jobs/search and /careers/jobs/* match your condition:

if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/careers/jobs" }

Both will be redirected
