How to keep the internal URL in browser address bar and point to external website

Is there a way to keep internal web address all the time and point it to public URL?   Let's say I have internal web address called honest2.company.com which has 10.10.2.35 and have public website...

Can't you just create an A record for honest2.company.com pointed at 10.10.2.35 and call it a day? It feels like we're greatly overthinking this. Make the pool member the actual IP of the real webserver and configure the webserver to handle requests for honest2.company.com. There is no need for iRules here as best I can tell.

Create a pool, make the external server the sole member. You're now proxying, users see the URL you want them to see, and you don't have to use an iRule.
