Neither of the above is what he is asked about though.

dstdomain (and DNS entries) are about the traffic received from the
client, not the outgoing traffic from Squid.

"The right Way" is to virtual host. The current releases of Squid do
that already by default, older versions require vhost parameter on
http_port. Squid will pass the virtual hosted domain name straight
through to the backend server for proper handling.

If the backend server is not able to cope with virtual hosting, then the
forcedomain parameter on cache_peer can be used. But note that this
parameter has (most of) the same problems and limitations as URL re-writing.
