  Hi,     I think there may be an easy way to do this, I can get some of it to work, but not all of it.     We have a need to redirect traffic to a different pool, based off...

Hi David,

So you basically want www.xyz.com/site2 requests to be redirected to www2.xyz.com/site2, www2.xyz.com/site2 requests to go to pool2 and all other requests to go to pool1? If so, can you try this? 

  
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: [HTTP::method] request to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" 
  
     Check the requested host header 
    switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { 
  
       "www.xyz.com" { 
           Request was for www.xyz.com. Check if the URI starts with /site2 
          if {[HTTP::path] starts_with "/site2"}{ 
              Redirect client to www2.xyz.com with the original URI 
             log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: www.xyz.com/site2 request, redirecting." 
             HTTP::redirect "http://www2.xyz.com[HTTP::uri]" 
          } else { 
              Not a /site2 URI, so use pool1 
             log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: www.xyz.com non-site2 request, using pool1." 
             pool pool1 
          } 
       } 
       "www2.xyz.com" { 
           Request was for www2.xyz.com. Use pool2 
          log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: www2.xyz.com request, using pool2." 
          pool pool2 
       } 
       default { 
           Take some default action for other hosts? 
          log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: No host match." 
       } 
    } 
 }
