    can you clarify what you are trying to do a little more. Your question is a little vague.

    Sounds more like you want to re-write the hostname than a redirect. This iRule could do something simple like rewriting the request's host header to the IP address of the chosen pool member.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::host [LB::server addr]
}

      it will not "redirect" the request. A redirect sends a 301 or 302 to the client. That means they wouldn't be hitting your VIP and more. It will load balance to the select pool member and rewrite the host header to the http request to IP of the pool member. The users browser will not see the rewrite.
