I've since decided to leave the URLs as they are and not use a redirector, but let squid think that all vhosts that come in are local, (they are in the local hosts file as 127.0.0.1) and let a small load balancing binary (balance from http://www.inlab.de/balance.html) farm out the requests to the web servers.
Provided your web servers is not sensitive on the host name you cna still use a redirector, just make sure to rewrite to a unique host name per vhost per server.
Personally I prefer letting Squid do the load balancing via the cache_peer directive, but admittedly with standard Squid you are somewhat limited in the load balancing algorithms.
