What kind of traffic do you mean by specific traffic? How about this simple example..

 

if { condition for your specific traffic } {

 

log local0. "some log message [IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]"

 

pool your_pool

 

}

 

The above log will help you track the client IP from where the specific traffic originated. The next line will direct the traffic to your desired pool. Sorry if my answer doesn't serve your purpose.

    If you are trying to remove Header X-Forward-for, this might help

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

    HTTP::header remove X-Forwarded-For

    }

    write some condition for your specific traffic inside the when {}
