Depends on how your load balancer operates.

If your load balancer operates by rewriting the destination IP address
of the requests, without ensuring there is a Host header in the request,
then this load balancer breaks HTTP requests without a Host header.

If your load balancer operates by routing the requests to the proxy
server which then intercepts the request then it can be made to work.
