VIP redirect to another VIP

Hello,   I was wondering if there was a way to redirect to another VIP..   so if traffic comes in to one VIP.. an irule or something would send it to another VIP on the same LTM.   Thanks ...

I tried the above irule on http://website.com and https://website.com but it didnt seem like it worked..am I missing something?

doesn't the irule Kevin suggested work?

 config

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.24.10:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        qux
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    vs-index 35
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "website.com" } {
    HTTP::redirect "https://NEWwebsite.com"
  }
}
}
