Can the F5 Bigip act as a proxy for a specific VIP

We have a HTTPS VIP on the F5. The web servers (pool members) serve pages that have several external links that are not https. Is it possible to have the F5 proxy these http links and present them ...

So in the first example - setting the f5 as the client proxy you would create a wildcard virtual server on port 80 and configure the client with this as its web proxy.

 

In the second example you would create a streams profile or html profile to rewrite from the original link to a host which maps to the IP address of a Virtual Server configured on the f5. Obviously you'd have to be sure that the URLs are available on the servers.
