    This might be what you need (the requirements weren't very clear);-

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::path] eq "/"} {
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://[HTTP::host]/HomePage/index.html" 
        return
    }
}

        HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://anyname.com/HomePage/index.html"
