Is it possible to do the traffic routing using the route rules as described in the image below? The traffic routing would need to happen right after the traffic enters the cluster.

We have been fiddling around with them but always hit a wall as soon as we had two route rules and used a uri regex in one of the rules.

Our idea is to configure the istio ingress like so

# Ingress
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: gateway
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "istio"
spec:
  backend:
    serviceName: frontend
    servicePort: 8080

And then configure the route rules that split the traffic depending on the uri header. Here is an example of how we would configure the products route rule:

apiVersion: config.istio.io/v1alpha2
kind: RouteRule
metadata:
  name: products-rule
spec:
  destination:
    name: frontend
  precedence: 2
  match:
    request:
      headers:
        uri:
          regex: "^/(?:.*?)/?products(?:/.*)?
quot;
  route:
  - labels:
      fe-app: products

Is this setup possible with istio?
