AltocumulusSo I was able to find an example that does the host header rewrite:
To update the Host header value without redirecting the client to the new Host value, you can use HTTP::header replace Host “newhost.example.com”. This update will only affect the request to the pool member. The client will not see the update unless the web application uses the requested host header value to generate response headers and/or content.
when HTTP_REQUEST { # Check if requested host doesn't start with www.example.com if {not ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] starts_with "www.example.com")}{ # Replace the host header value with newhost.example.com HTTP::header replace Host "newhost.example.com" } }
The difference with my scenario is the destination URL is not a pool member, it's an external website. Can someone confirm if there's a way to make this work?

Sounds like you've found your answer - thanks for sharing it. I've asked of my teammates to reply this afternoon just in case there's another way to go.
