I strongly recommend you to update.. the configuratioon in 2.6 is much
better.

Note: Rewriting URLs is generally a bad idea. Web servers quite often
generate what they think is the correct URL in various contexts..
(redirects, generated links, etc). So it's better to just map the URLs
to servers, not rewrite them..

Whats missing is how to map URLs to servers. This is done by
cache_peer_access (or _domain depending on what kind of mapping is done,
and taste). I'll add an example of that as well..
