Redirector in a reverse proxy scenario

A common technique using in a reverse proxy scenario where virtual hostnames are distributed to several internal servers is using a redirector. But with the new 2.6 squid there is a better way to achieve this feature.
You can forward the requests with:
cache_peer + cache_peer_acess + never_direct

This is the recommend method if the other server is supposed to act exactly like the real web site, including it's name.
