If I understand the scenario, I think you can do something like this with an iRule.
Do you want to present one URL externally but have the hostname and/or URI changed based on some backend web application's changes? Would you want to load balance the destination host(s) by IP address or hostname? Can you provide psuedo code of the logic you'd like to implement?
What kind of client would update the iRule configuration? Can it make SOAP requests to an LTM self or management IP?
