This is because transparent proxying only routes by IP, not hostname.
To get virtual domains like that to work properly, you need to put the
following
in your squid.conf file:

httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

Then restart squid, and your problems should go away.
Make sure you've also got the following set (although you should already
if
you're using transparent proxy:

httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
