Beware of this directive. It does exacly what it says, nothing more. The
internal URL is still rewritten, so if your redirect program collapses
multiple domains to the same internal URL you will get cache collisions.

To be precise wrt the need for redirect programs:

The help of a redirector is required on "httpd_accel_host virtual". In
all other accelerator configurations one can get by without a redirector
simply by making sure Squid knows how to resolve the real server IP
addresses where the web sites/domains are hosted, not the official ones.
This is most easily achieved by using /etc/hosts (and compile with
--disable-internal-dns if using Squid-2.3 or Squid-2.4)
