You could do a HTTP::redirect to the other virtual. The only downside is that you will either need to have a unique domain name for the new virtual or redirect the client to the IP address (which will show up in their browser.

ie.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  HTTP::redirect "http://other.domain.com[HTTP::uri]"

}

Either way, the client will see that the domain changed in their request.
