We modified our iRule to prepend the protocol and fqdn.


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set entry [findclass [HTTP::host] $::urlrewrite " "]
    if {$entry != ""} {
        log "Entry not null, replacing Host: [HTTP::host] with: $entry"
        HTTP::header replace Host $entry
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/"} {
HTTP::uri http://$entry[HTTP::uri]
}
    }
}

This works to rewrite the inbound traffic. Our internal server returns a 301 with the internal host name... so we'll need to address the response.
