Thanks a lot. I really don't want to list all domains in /etc/hosts or
in some other file. Such list would have to be changed too often.

I have disabled the URL redirector and modified the dnsserver to return
the backend server IP address instead of its own. I don't like this
solution very much, but it has one big advantage - it works and I don't
have to specify the list of all accelerated domains.
