Simple HTTP session termination then back end session to web server

Hello Gurus! I'm VERY new to LTM but I suspect this one will be simple.

 

I've got an internal web app that simply uses http on port 80 from a company we acquired, which is currently on their local AD domain. We'll call it http://currenturl.olddomain.local/webapp.

 

In order to get our users that come in over our global WAN into a higher queue in QOS I need them to make connections on a custom port (8052), but we don't want to change the web server. So, I want provide the users across the pond a totally different URL that terminates at the F5 on http port 8052 (http://newurl.ourdomain.com:8052/) and then have the F5 proxy the session to the web server by opening a new connection on the back end to the web server on the actual URL (http://currenturl.olddomain.local/webapp).

 

Any help or article references would be much appreciated!
