Hello Jeff,

On VIP-80 you'll have the http -> https redirect. On VIP-443 you could use the one below. What issues are you running into? 

RULE-x.x.x.x-443
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "site.domain.com" and !([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/subsite") } {

      HTTP::respond 302 Location "https://site.domain.com/subsite"
}
}
