Virtual Server redirection

Question

Hello,&nbsp;
We have some web apps sitting on different servers and written in different languages.
I am trying to implement the following process&nbsp;
The BIGIP gets a request and checks the URIAccording to the URI, the BIGIP redirects the request to the correct Virtual Serveri.e. if the request is: http://1.1.1.1/abc the BIGIP will redirect the request to virtual server named "abc"The "abc" virtual server will handle the request according to the pool, irules, security policies and etc. 
  As defined in the "abc" virtual server.
I think the best way to accomplish this is by using irules.&nbsp;
How should the irule be look like?&nbsp;
Thank you.
Noam.&nbsp;

Hi,
you can use something like this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::uri] contains "/abc" } {
    virtual abc-vs
}
}

Thank youm Vitaliy
But unfortunately I got "The page cannot be displayed"&nbsp;
A bit more information how is it configured right now.
The Firewall translates the user's request to 1.1.1.1 
The "General" Virtual server is listening to this IP.
the "abc" virtual server is listening to 1.1.1.2&nbsp;
When using the above irule as the only irule in the "General" virtual server,
When I request http://1.1.1.1/abc I get "The page cannot be displayed"&nbsp;
Any ideas?&nbsp;

Can you post your virtual server configurations?  It would help the community diagnose the issue you are having.&nbsp;

The configurations:
Let me know if you need anything else from the conf file.
ltm virtual-address /Common/1.1.1.1 {
address 1.1.1.1
mask 255.255.255.255
traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-1
}

ltm virtual /Common/GENERAL {
destination /Common/1.1.1.1:443
ip-protocol tcp
mask 255.255.255.255
profiles {
    /Common/clientssl {
        context clientside
    }
    /Common/http { }
    /Common/tcp { }
}

    /Common/Redirect_to_VS
}

}

ltm rule /Common/Redirect_to_VS {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::uri] contains "/abc" } {
virtual abc
}
}
}

ltm virtual /Common/abc {
destination /Common/1.1.1.2:443
ip-protocol tcp

    /Common/abc:80 {
        address 2.2.2.2
    }
}
monitor /Common/http 
}

ltm rule /Common/Test2 {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
