You would actually be better off with url_rewrite_children 1 and a much
higher concurrency level.

It's better to not rewrite the host component. Use cache_peer_access to
select the right backend server instead.

This is a directive likely to be removed in future releases as it's not
really needed, and can cause some often unexpected problems (but natural
once you look at it..)
