Look into the httpd_accel_uses_host_header directive. See
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/199909/0309.html and
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/199909/0311.html for
more details. Aside from stating that you should use "httpd_accel_host
virtual" (there is no need), the " Configuring Squid as Reverse Proxy
for Multiple Domains (http accelerator) " section of
http://squid.visolve.com/squid/reverseproxy.htm looks to be a good guide.

Be aware that once you set httpd_accel_uses_host_header to on, you are
opening yourself up to abuse. Be careful with your acls so you don't
become an open proxy.
