As stated in section 14.23 of RFC 2616 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol --
HTTP/1.1)
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html


>A client MUST include a Host header field in all HTTP/1.1 request
>   messages

e.g. Host: www.w3.org

With the host information a reverse proxy can transmit the request to
the correct web server.

At least this is how I think it is working, I never really touched a
thing like this.
