If your intention is to allow every URI of a particular domain, why do you put wildcard of /* rather than just whitelisting the particular domain itself.

So you need not worry of adding thousands of URI, but just allow that particular host.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] contains "domain.com" }
{ pool POOL_SSL }
else 
{ drop }
}
