I'm using the following rule for this purpose. It basically strips the host part of http redirects and returns the relative path:

ltm rule redirect_absolute_to_relative {
     when HTTP_RESPONSE {
          if { [HTTP::is_redirect] } {
             Replace absolute redirect with relative redirect
             HTTP::header replace Location [regsub {https?://[^/]*/} [HTTP::header value location] "/"]
          }
     }
}

Hope this answers your question
