I can try, but I did not find any real explanation of your problem, only
some basic information on what you want to do.

What do you mean by URI domain?

HTTP only defines the Host: header to carry the requested domain name.
The URI can also contain a domainname, but not when an origin server (or
accelerator) is contacted.

Most likely yes. The setup is a generic setup for accelerating any
number of virtual domains on any number of real "backend" servers.
