No. The HTTP/1.1 "Host:" header is sent from the client to the server and
it contains the server's name. It's so a single server on one (or more) IP
addresses can serve different pages if it is queried using different
names. This is virtual hosting. The only way for the server to know which
name you used is if the client sends it over in this header. So it's
normal for "Host:" to have the name (or ip) of the server, not the client.
