If you have just a couple of pools for one virtual server, try something like this

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   if {[HTTP::host] equals {www.orange.com}} { 
     pool orangepool 
   } elseif {[HTTP::host] equals {www.green.com}} { 
     pool greenpool 
   } else { 
     pool other_or_no_host_header_to_this_pool 
   } 
 } 
 

A switch would also work nicely:

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Select the pool based on the host header value 
    switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { 
       www.orange.com { 
          pool orangepool 
       } 
       www.green.com { 
          pool greenpool 
       } 
       default { 
          pool defaultpool 
       } 
    } 
 } 
 

If you want to specify a VIP rather than a pool, you can use the 'virtual' command in 9.4 or later (Click here). Just replace pool POOL_NAME with vip VIP_NAME.

Is the VIP_NAME only in 9.4 or higher... I am running 9.3.1 and wanted something just like this for taking xyz.net to xyz.com, also I'd like to use this on a SSL VIP, so the request comes in on a SSL VIP will the traffic run through the iRule first or through the SSL first?

 

 

Thanks

Using the virtual command to select a new virtual server for the request is a feature added in 9.4. You'd need to upgrade to 9.4+ to use 'virtual' in this manner.
