Stanislas, you're correct, I expressed myself incorrectly. It's sending the VS hostname.

 

I'm using APM with rewrite mode, so I followed your suggestion when I read this thread (I did test Kai's iRule too). I had the iRule log what it does, so I can see that the hostname that it's going to inject is the correct one, but in the packet capture I still see the VS hostname.

 

Edit: Just in case, this is in 13.0.0.
