I ask because the fix is dependent on where the value is coming through.
Depending on how complex the masquerade, you have a few options from a fairly simple iRule and STREAM replacement, to a much more elaborate ProxyPass or 11.4 rewrite profile. So is it just the Host header that needs to be replaced, or the URI as well?
