ProxyPass - Reverse Proxy / Backend URL rewrite.

Sounds like you're rewriting the URI, but you want an HTTP redirect. You just need to create an iRule and assign it to the virtual in questions. Something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] starts_with "service.mycompany.com" } {
HTTP::redirect http://externalsite.longurl.application.service.othercompany.com[HTTP::uri]
}
}

And this is where I got confused...he mentioned a user being able to see www.yahoo.com in their browser while their traffic was sent to www.google.com It's like a host-header re-write for outbound traffic üòõ
