Modify host in HTTP Redirect

I have VS-A going to a pool with Server-A. Server-A sends a redirect to the user which points to an unaccessible host (Server-X).

 

 

I need to be able to capture the HTTP redirect from Server-A and modify the host in the HTTP header to point to a different VS (VS-B) based on a different hostname and port combination (instead of Server-X).

 

 

I believe I can pickup the redirect with "when HTTP:RESPONSE", but I'm stuck on the HTTP:header replace part which I think is then required?

 

 

Thanks! Any help appreciated.
