Proxypass issue

I have the latest proxypass irule configure on my f5, but I cannot get it to do what I want.   I want dev.suny.edu to be reverse proxied to myappserver.com:7900/security   So my data group is...
application delivery
dev
devops
iRules

the dawl3 box does not care about host header.

 

 

So this is what I am trying to solve.

 

On our IIS server where dev.suny.edu is we also have and Oracle 11g Proxy tool that is configured to reverse proxy various contexts /security for example to a back end oracle application server. I really want to take that task away from IIS.

 

Since dev.suny.edu is a vip/pool on the F5, it would be nice if the F5 could see the /securty request and just do the reverse proxy for me. THe browser client would only ever see dev.suny.edu/security. /security would be fulfillied by the application server (or another F5 vip) . Follow?
