1) Set URI Group

Open Sametime DMGR Administraton console and go to URI Groups

set a new one with  / in URI pattern

2) Modify Virtual Hosts

Edit default_host and proxy_host and delete the port 80 then go to your Sametime Server virtual hosts and check if you have insert HTTP with correct alias like the following

3)  Routing Action inside Websphere Proxy

make a new rule and fill the field 

you need to insert or select

• Name
• Name of Virtual Host (choose the VH of the Sametime server you like to redir)
• URI Group (select the URI group created on point 1 )

save and then set all rules you need (i've set 3 for 3 Sametime Server)
