Something like this maybe?

        Replace host header   
       HTTP::header replace Host "newhost.example.com"  
  
        Set a flag to rewrite host in redirect responses 
       set check_response 1 
    }  
 } 
 when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
  
    if {$check_response and [HTTP::is_redirect]}{ 
  
        Rewrite the Location header to an IP 
       HTTP::header replace Location [string map {newhost.example.com 10.198.239.248} [HTTP::header value Location]] 
    } 
 }

If you have multiple IP addresses you'd potentially want to check for let me know. This option should work for a single IP.
