How about something like this,

Create a DataGroup to map "host header names" to Pool mappings. example HOST2POOL_DG

"abc.com" := "POOL01",

"xyz.com" := "POOL02",

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set pool_select_value [class lookup [string tolower [HTTP::host]] HOST2POOL_DG]
    pool $pool_select_value
}

or

simple irule: 
when HTTP_REQUEST {
        switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {        
        "abc.com" { pool POOL01}        
        "xyz.com" { pool POOL02}        
        }
 }
