You are reading very old documentation. This section was clarified
25-Jun-02 to read

httpd_accel_host, httpd_accel_port

        If you want to run Squid as an httpd accelerator, define the
        host name and port number where the real HTTP server is.

        If you want IP based virtual host support then specify the
        hostname as "virtual". This will make Squid use the IP address
        where it accepted the request as hostname in the URL.

        If you want virtual port support then specify the port as "0".

        NOTE: enabling httpd_accel_host disables proxy-caching and
        ICP. If you want these features enabled also, then set
        the 'httpd_accel_with_proxy' option.
