I can see that is possible to disable the compression, but does not look like is possible to change TCP or acceleration profiles.

 

A simple workaround that should work, is to direct the traffic to another virtual server, and that virtual server would have the new settings you want.

You need to test. Not sure if the TCP profile will change, try in early events in the iRule.

 

Also, about the decision when to use the new virtual server, just use a datagroup with the IPs/networks.
