You can send an HTTP redirect to the client and they will see the address bar update to the new location value. This assumes that des.dorsetcc.local resolves to the VIP address for the clients. 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Check host header value 
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "des"}{ 
  
        Redirect client to the full host name 
       HTTP::redirect "https://des.dorsetcc.local[HTTP::uri]" 
    } 
 }
