Probably, you can do with redirect config such as the following.

rserver redirect redirect-server1

  webhost-redirection http://xyz.intranet.net/faces/login?.jspx

!___ You have to issue [ctrl+v] and then ? to configure "?" on cli.

  inservice

serverfarm redirect redirect-sfarm1

  rserver redirect-server1

    inservice

class-map type http loadbalance match-any url

  2 match http url /

class-map type http loadbalance match-all xyz.intranet.net

  2 match http header Host header-value "xyz.intranet.net"

  3 match class-map url

policy-map type loadbalance http first-match L7-HTTP

  class xyz.intranet.net

    serverfarm redirect-sfarm1

ACE will check host header-value and url.

If host header value is "xyz.intranet.net" and url is "/", ACE

will reply 302 redirect to client.

If not, the request will hit class-default.

VIP address in my lab was 192.168.71.101(xyz.intranet.net)

and the result was below.

sv771-1:/# telnet xyz.intranet.net 80

Trying 192.168.71.101...

Connected to xyz.intranet.net.

Escape character is '^]'.

Connection: close

Connection closed by foreign host.
