I just found the answer for myself:


when LB_FAILED {
   set uri [HTTP::uri]
   if {$uri contains "&view="} {
      set regexp_result [regexp {view=([a-zA-Z]+)} $uri viewstring cust_id]
      HTTP::redirect https://some.maintenancesite.com/$cust_id
   }
}

Thanks nevertheless!

Martin

PS: Is there any way to avoid using the variables $regexp_result and $viewstring in the above example? Those will never get used...
