Hi Mic,

You can use an iRule like ProxyPass to proxy a web app internally as a different one externally. I don't know how such an iRule would interact with Web Accelerator though, so you might see if anyone else has suggestions.

    Replace the Host header with game.domain.com
   HTTP::header replace Host "game.domain.com"
}
