Trying to replace the header host value if it doesn't match 2 conditions

Question

I am trying to write an irule that will replace the header host value if it does not meet 1 given value or a 2nd given value. I tried the below irule based on info I gathered from various posts but it does not like the syntax. I am using version 13.1.1.2

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { ([HTTP::header host] not "abc.host.com") or \

([HTTP::header host] not "xyz.host.com") } {

HTTP::header replace Host "abc.host.com"

}

If I try to save the above rule, I get this error: 01070151:3: Rule [/Common/rule_abc_host_header_replace] error: /Common/rule_abc_host_header_replace:2: error: [parse error: PARSE syntax 51 syntax\ error\ in\ expression\ \"\ (\[HTTP::header\ host\]\ not\ \"abc.host.com\")\ or\ \\\n\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (...\":\ looking\ for\ close\ parenthesis][{ ([HTTP::header host] not "abc.host.com") or \

([HTTP::header host] not "xyz.host.com") }]

Wouldn't this work as a Local Traffic Policy configured like this?:

Try:set HOST [string tolower [HTTP::host]]
if { (not ($HOST eq "abc.host.com")) or
     (not ($HOST eq "xyz.host.com")) } {

I am so accustomed to using irules for everything and I am not real familiar with Local Traffic Policy.  However this looks like it will do what I need.  I will test it and let you know.  Thanks!

Thanks Vijay,Let me know if I did something wrong, but I entered the rule like this:when HTTP_REQUEST {HOST = [string tolower [HTTP::host]]if { (not ($HOST eq "abc.host.com")) or&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(not ($HOST eq "xyz.host.com")) } {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HTTP::header replace Host "abc.host.com"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}&nbsp;&nbsp;}&nbsp;And it gave me this error: 01070151:3: Rule [/Common/rule_header_replace_abc] error: /Common/rule_header_replace_abc:2: error: [undefined procedure: HOST][HOST = [string tolower [HTTP::host]]]

Sorry, edited the previous code snippet. "set" should be used for variable creation.
