Two possible causes:

a) You are using this Squid as a proxy on this request.

b) You have enabled "httpd_accel_uses_host_header on".

In your case it is probably (a). The request arrived throught
rs6k.mmlab.ktu.lt:8080 which then forwarded the request to
www.5ci.lt:80.

The suggested fix is to teach you Squid machine that www.5ci.lt is
really variag.5ci.lt. This can be done by adding this IP to your local
host table and configure your system to use the local host table before
DNS. Another approach is to use a "internal" DNS with different data
than the official DNS.

Yet another option is to use a redirector that rewrites www.5ci.it to
variag.5ci.it, but this has the sideeffect that Host: headers gets
rewritten to variag.5ci.it as well.
