Mike,

What you are requesting seems closer to a reverse-proxy instead of a redirect.

This can be accomplished using URI Translation in a rewrite profile.

In the URI rules section you would create an entry, possibly multiple entries.

Client URI: https://vanitydomain.com/  
Server URI: https://notyourdomain.com/vanitydomain/

I modified both to be 

https
and they will need to end in a 
/
.

I'm not sure if it's possible to have 

http
client-side and 
https
server-side, but if you could, I would strongly recommend against it.

The rewrite profile has traditionally been a feature of APM, but I believe rewrite profiles were added to LTM starting in 11.4, but don't quote me on that.
