No, redirecting HTTP requests without changin the hostname in the URL is IMHO not possible, because the browser would again use DNS to resolve helloworld.com to the old address. There is no way for a server to tell browser not to do that (which is good because that would otherwise allow very easy website spoofing).
The other possibility is to route all requests via the old location i.e. 10.1.1.1 and have the BIG-IP relay the requests to the new server (or another BIG-IP) 10.2.2.2. To achieve this, you need to make the virtual server on 10.1.1.1 use pool with single member with address 10.2.2.2. This is however getting outside of the charter of this forum because it is not related to iRules.
