Hi tpearson,

You can use HTTP::header replace Host "newhost.example.com" to replace the existing Host header: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Check if host is an IP address 
    if {[HTTP::host] eq "10.198.239.248"}{ 
  
        Replace host header  
       HTTP::header replace Host "newhost.example.com" 
    } 
 }

There isn't a host header in responses, so you shouldn't need to modify the response headers or content.
