i think it may be useful if you run tcpdump on bigip and see how request and response look like.

if you are running 11.2.0 or later, you can use p interface modifier to capture both clientside and serverside packet.

 tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnnp -s0 -w /var/tmp/output.pcap host x.x.x.x -v
x.x.x.x is client ip

    Patrick, The following irule worked, I included the header replace statement, just before the pool associated with the server servicing both sites and it worked. when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/arcgis") } { HTTP::header replace Host "gis.dev.geo.census.gov" pool arcgis_tigerweb.dev.geo_80_pool } Thanks for the leads, I would not have thought to use a header replacement in this case, my thoughts were far from that.
