Again, the strange thing is when we match the PS VA with the PS machine name, all works through F5 (which makes me think it is something with the PS backend)

Have you viewed the source of the page that has the problems? Make sure that all the URIs are coming across correctly. By that I mean that in my testing, I saw that even with Peoplesoft configured to use the Virtual Server's FQDN, things would sometimes come through still containing a different name.

 

 

The fix for this is to use a stream profile, which can do inline replacements for all content flowing through the Virtual Server.

Below is the show source on the retured page from the backend:
