If someone request http://195.10.10.1 and this is something you want to 
support then you need to use a redirector helper which rewrites this into 
the domain you want to return, or use the cache_peer forwarding method of 
selecting which server to use (this method is more obvious in Squid-3, 
where it is the default mode of operation for accelerators.. Squid-2.5 
lacks some features needed for doing this correctly).

The httpd_accel_host name is only used if someone uses a old client not 
sending a Host: header indicating which domain he is asking for. This is 
not the same as requesting by IP address using a modern Host: 
header aware browser.

No fiction ;-)
