ok, just cache_peer + cache_peer_domain/access..

These is a little trickier if you really want to rewrite the url-path
after the host. If you can rearrange the backend servers to each have
their content in unique directories then things gets a whole lot simpler
and much less error prone. In such case it's just a matter of cache_peer
+ cache_peer_access to select which backend to use.

If you really need to rewrite the url-path then use a redirector to
rewrite the requested URL.
