VIP redirection

This can be done via iRule or Policy (if you are running v11.4+). Personally, I would go with the policy, as it's easier to interpret for those newer to the F5 platform.

The below examples assumes your pool is named my_pool and you have a member defined with IP address 1.2.3.4 and port 80.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/xyz" } {
        pool my_pool member 1.2.3.4 80
    }
}

ltm policy single_member_xyz {
    controls { forwarding }
    requires { http }
    rules {
        xyz {
            actions {
                0 {
                    forward
                    select
                    member 1.2.3.4:80
                }
            }
            conditions {
                0 {
                    http-uri
                    path
                    starts-with
                    values { /xyz }
                }
            }
            ordinal 1
        }
    }
    strategy first-match
}
