I imagine squid wants to know what vhost the page is on so it can
cache accordingly. if www.yahoo.com and www.fubar.com pointed to the
same IP address, how would squid cache both www.yahoo.com/index.html
and www.fubar.com/index.html if it didn't know which index.html was
associated with which vhost.
I imagine the error is actually coming from squid, not yahoo.
