You are reading very old documentation. This section was clarified
25-Jun-02 to read
httpd_accel_host, httpd_accel_port
If you want to run Squid as an httpd accelerator, define the
host name and port number where the real HTTP server is.
If you want IP based virtual host support then specify the
hostname as "virtual". This will make Squid use the IP address
where it accepted the request as hostname in the URL.
If you want virtual port support then specify the port as "0".
NOTE: enabling httpd_accel_host disables proxy-caching and
ICP. If you want these features enabled also, then set
the 'httpd_accel_with_proxy' option.
