Hi,

 

Managed to solve this by identifying the public DNS was not reachable from behind our firewall so going through the internal routes through the firewall I could resolve the address.

 

I also found the following link useful https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/irules.resolv__lookup.ashx

 

and also to request traffic to the newly resolved IP: https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/irule-to-redirect-to-specific-node

 

Also, had some issues with variables when using iRules, however, hard coding everything in one line was successful.
