Comment (by phk):

 Appearantly you misunderstood my answer, let me try again:

 If the request has a Host: header, we send that to the backend unmodified.
 (If it needs modified, do so in VCL).

 If the request has no Host: header (or it was removed by VCL) we add a
 Host: header before sending the request to the backend, using the hostname
 from the backend specification, as a string.

 In other words: If we are about to send a request to the backend and it
 has no Host: header, we add a Host: header using the exact string
 specified in VCL, whatever format it has.

 For code references see: cache_http.c line 662-664 and cache_backend.c
 line 126-136.
