I believe thats a security feature. Allowing the client to control the Host: name to destination IP mapping makes for some pretty horrible cache poisoning possibilities. It shouldn't be difficult to patch Squid-2.6 to use the original destination IP if required (if there isn't one already!) but I'm not sure how to work around the cache poisioning. Henrik, any ideas?
