Hi

If you share one more method, you can also leverage datagroup.

```tcl
when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { class match [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals DATAGROUP-NAME } {
		HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" "Connection" "Close"
		return
	} elseif { class match [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals DATAGROUP-NAME } {
		HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.ndtv.com" "Connection" "Close"
		return
	}
}

```

DATAGROUP-NAME Include

Type String

String :

[energy.com](http://energy.com)

> **[Good Energy – A Smarter Way to Buy Energy -](https://goodenergy.com)**
>
> Commercial & Industrial We optimize your energy-buying strategy, so your business can operate more efficiently. Massachusetts Aggregation Program Find out the latest program benefits and how Massachusetts is leading the way. Community Energy...

@Yesh1923

I think use date-group list and ‘IF’ on irule.

I couldn’t test it, but I checked that it was set up in the equipment.

refer below irule and datagroup list:

    if { [class match [HTTP::header values "True-Client-IP"] eq dg-client-ip] } {
        HTTP::respond 400 content "site currently unavailable, Please try again later"
    } elseif { [class match [HTTP::host] eq dg-domain] } {

You need to use this iRule in non 443 virtual server. Otherwise, redirect loop occurs.
