Well yes, the point of the message is that i can't use this kind of method (cookie)
cause it won't have the effect i'm looking after.

Well, the "Host" header isn't sent by a back-end, it's the virtualhost requested by the web browser.
In fact what i'm looking for is kinda the same thing done by the "balance uri" configuration, just i need to balance on the virtualhost part.

Well no, as i said before i can't, it would need to make each back-end server aware of a global vhost/backend association table which is somewhat easier to do in the load-balancer

I don't see how it could help, anyway this i'm not allowed to say (or maybe i'm too ashamed of, pick your choice :) )
