you can rewrite host header when sending traffic to server/pool member using "HTTP::header replace" or "HTTP::host" (in 11.5+) command. HTTP::header   https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/HTTP__header.html HTTP::host https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/HTTP__host.html anyway, if server hard-codes hostname (MySecondDomain.com) in response, you have to rewrite it back to original (MyFirstDomain.com) when sending the response to client (e.g. irule, stream profile, etc).
