Yes, I only have one backend server. That server is using the Host
header to generate absolute URLs that refer back to itself.

This is a useful characteristic because everything still works if I
access the server directly, or through a different squid. This means
that the absolute URLs in the responses all to refer to the
appropriate front end server that handled the request.

I am aware of the problem of a request with a bad Host header
polluting the cache. If squid is going to rewrite the Host header, my
ideal would be for a configuration option to specify the *value* of
that header.
