There is some old code lurking around for doing this in the rproxy
branch of Squid. Unfortunately it is not in a very good shape at the
moment.

My preferred method is to make the server aware of it's external name
and not use a redirector helper in Squid for accelerator setup. This
is most easily done by

 1. Adding the domain to the web server configuration.

 2. Add the domain to /etc/hosts on the Squid server with the IP
address of the backend web server.

 3. Configure squid.conf with

     httpd_accel_host your.main.accelerated.domain
     httpd_accel_uses_host_header on [if more than one domain]
     acl my_servers src ip.of.accelerated.server ...[if more than one]
     acl http protocol http
     acl port80 port 80
     http_access allow http port80 my_servers
     http_access deny all
