If is easy to find the hostname in an HTTP_REQUEST but then how could you set the SSL client profile? I am...

There actually is a way though, but it involves thinking a little unconventionally.
If you allow someone to hit an HTTP page first (on an unencrypted or known-SSL channel prior to redirecting them), and set up a session entry for them based on their source IP address in an iRule, you could retrieve this session entry later at the beginning of an SSL session and use the SSL::profile command to choose the ssl profile you're going to use.
Note that it's far from foolproof, and may not work for megaproxies and NATs, but it does sorta work.
