HTTP::host only gives you the hostname (host.co.uk). HTTP::uri will give you the path (/about.cfm), so try: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   switch -glob "[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" { 
     "host.co.uk/about.cfm" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.newhost.co.uk/page1 " } 
     "host.co.uk/audit.cfm" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.newhost.co.uk/aboutpage " } 
   } 
 }

You might run into case issues though (if someone goes to host.co.uk/About.cfm it wouldn't be caught). In which case you'd want to do something like this: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   switch -glob [string tolower "[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"] { 
     "host.co.uk/about.cfm" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.newhost.co.uk/page1 " } 
     "host.co.uk/audit.cfm" { HTTP::redirect "http://www.newhost.co.uk/aboutpage " } 
   } 
 }
