To solve this you need to use a redirector telling Squid that when it
receives a request for http://10.0.21.7/ it should handle it as a request
for http://apps.company.com/ (or whatever you want the default domain to
be).

Alternatively you can set "httpd_accel_single_host on", and leave this to
your web server to decide what to do.

Yes, by using "httpd_accel_single_host on".
