Transparent URL redirect

I am trying to write an iRule that will rewrite the URL from a user request to a new URL and and a URI. The user will enter site.mydomain.com and be sent to newsite.newdomain.com/page1/page2... While this happens the displayed URL should not change and remain site.mydomain.com. The URI will update as users navigate the site.

    e.g. 

    [root@ve1023:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.19.79:80
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve1023:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   members 200.200.200.101:80 {}
}
[root@ve1023:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::host] equals "site.mydomain.com" and [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {
      HTTP::header replace Host "newsite.newdomain.com"
      HTTP::uri "/page1/page2"
   }
}
}

[root@ve1023:Active] config  ssldump -Aed -nni 0.0 port 80
