Please remember that your redirector still munges the URL, and Squid
caches the object on the URL after the redirector.

Well, it might be that redirect_rewrites_host_header is broken in your
Squid version. Which version is it?

My preferred setup for accelerators is to use split DNS (or /etc/hosts)
for resolving the real server names, and not rewrite the URL at all in
the acceleration process, except as required to suppor IP based hosts
for old clients not sending Host headers..
