Host headers on BigIP rather than IIS

I've submitted a support ticket to F5, however I'm not sure they understood what I am trying to accomplish. I am trying to have the BigIP handle host headers, rather than our front end IIS web server...

Thanks Michael - I was thinking the same thing as far as using non-standard ports.

 

 

With that being said - how are you rewriting the port numbers so it is transparent to the client? Lets say I go to www.website1.com and the bigip sends traffic to a pool that contains a pool member 10.10.3.1 on port 5091, is there a way to rewrite that so it appears as port 80 for the client? Transparency?
