I have encountered this and worked around it by using a second virtual server which does preserve the host name, called by the first which doesn't but it's not pretty and I wouldn't recommend it unless strictly necessary. It would be nice to be able to explicitly set the Host: header but that appears to be overwritten when the request is proxied.
