Hi Rob,

if the HTTP virtual server is exclusively used for the redirect, then use this iRule...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::redirect "https://iamqa.something.com:8443/aveksa/admin"
}

if the HOST-name 

iamqa.something.com
is exclusively used for the redirect, then use this iRule...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "iamqa.something.com" } then {
        HTTP::redirect "https://iamqa.something.com:8443/aveksa/admin"
    }
}

if just the 

/
(website root) of the HOST-name 
iamqa.something.com
should be redirected, then use this iRule...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "iamqa.something.com" } then {
        if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } then {
            HTTP::redirect "https://iamqa.something.com:8443/aveksa/admin"
        }
    }
}

Cheers, Kai
