Hello Hoang,

 

It is very possible, although it can cause weird issues depending on how the backend application is coded. Your best bet is to look into rewrite profiles to rewrite incoming URLs (from the HTTP request header) as well as reponses sent back to clients (HTTP response header, HTML code, Java scripts, etc).
