Jesse - Sounds like something I do all the time. First, you want to set up app.host2.com as a separate host. That might be all you need to do to make Tuckey's filter easier to configure. For this type of redirect though, I use HttpRedirectFilter from zlatkovic.com (http://www.zlatkovic.com/httpredirectfilter.en.html) as I found it much easier to configure than the Tuckey software. As long as you understand basic regular expressions, you should have no problems with it.
