Ruggero, this is possible but overly complicated. I assume with 3) you mean routes or forwards rather than issuing a HTTP redirect (301/302)?

 

 

Are you expecting the F5 to do a DNS lookup? Are we over thinking this? Can your internal VIP and pool not just point to the real servers and you configure those to accept more than one hostname (i.e Apache Virtual Servers).

 

 

If you just want to replace the domain name for the inbound request, an iRule will suffice but you'll also need to ensure the server only serves relative links else a Stream Profile will also be required. Any Java goodness might also break without the Stream Profile.
