As you want to rewrite the host rather than the URI, your only option here is an iRule I'm afraid. If you wanted to redirect or rewrite the URI a HTTP Class would have done it.

You'd need a rule like so; 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
 if { [string tolower [HTTP::header value Host]] equals "publicfqdn1" } {
  HTTP::header replace "Host" internalfqdn1
  return }
 elseif { [string tolower  [HTTP::header value Host]] equals "publicfqdn2" } {
  HTTP::header replace "Host" internalfqdn2
  return }
}
