http_accel, virtual hosts, and logging.

Hello All,
  I scrounged the newsgroups and FAQ's but to no avail. I am using squid
2.2 as an http accelerator in front of an apache/mod_perl webserver with
several virtual hosts. My problem is that my configuration generates URL
logs like:

954291569.255 85 128.209.24.253 TCP_MISS/200 3250 GET
http://localhost/ldap/ - DIRECT/localhost text/html

However I need something like:

954291569.255 85 128.209.24.253 TCP_MISS/200 3250 GET
http://www.rage.net/ldap/ - DIRECT/localhost text/html

so that I can account for which virtual sites are recieving the traffic.
My configuration is that apache binds to 127.0.0.1 port 80, and squid
binds to the external interface port 80 contacting localhost for origin
traffic.

I tried setting 'httpd_accel_uses_host_header on', and this generates
appropriate log entries however that causes squid to generate '403 access
denied's for the connecting clients. I also tried changing
httpd_accel_host from 'localhost' to 'virtual' but that causes virtual
hosts to stop working completely (I get the same page regardless of which
Vhost I visit).

My guess is that the 'httpd_accel_uses_host_header on' setting tells squid
to attempt to directly connect to the site as resolved through DNS, rather
than connecting to localhost.

Hopefully the solution for this is straight forward and someone with more
experience with squid can tell me where I'm going wrong. I've put my
config below; any recomendations would be appreciated. Thanks!
