It should, if the accelerator is set up properly. To support virtual
domains the accelerator must be configured with
"httpd_accel_uses_host_header on", and any redirector must return unique
URL's for each domain.

How have you configured Squid?

Then you are most likely attacking the problem from the wrong end. Your
request chain is already fucked up if this makes a difference.

Same here.

It is mostly for people building accelerators with multiple (virtual)
domains. Most other redirector uses wants the opposite (to have
redirection rewrite the host header) in order to be able to redirect to
a virtual domain/server.
