Actually, if you only need to replace the Host header in requests and the app uses all local references (no references in response headers or payload to newserver.mycompany.com:47080, you can use a simple iRule: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Rewrite host header 
    HTTP::header replace Host "newserver.mycompany.com:47080" 
 }

Again, the load balancing will handle the IP and port translation from the VIP IP:port to the pool member IP and port.

You might try testing this option first before delving into the much more functional (and complicated) ProxyPass rule.
