Nimbostratusrewrite HTML/JavaScript content from backend server
Our company deployed a website that consists of a large number of JavaScript/Silverlight elements. The website is configured to display in Portal access with minimal patching.
The website loads correctly via the F5 however links on the left hand side connect to a back end report server.
When a user (from Internet) clicks on a link on the website that points to an internal server it gives a “page cannot be displayed” because the internal server name cannot be resolved via public DNS servers.
I would like to know how to rewrite HTML/JavaScript content from the back end server response to replace every occurrences of “ ” with “;
Any help in this matter would be most appreciated.

The correct way is to explain whoever wrote the website, the difference between relative and absolute URLs, and change those links to relative.

If you don't want go that path, you can do that in F5, replacing the private FQDN with the public one.
You can use a stream profile, either adding to the virtual server, or an iRule to do some logic. Here are some solutions to explain how to use that:
