Yes. This is why the interface is called URL re-write.
It alters the URL being fetched in-transit to whatever the re-writer
sends back. Squid then fetches that URL from the server in the Host:
header or a cache_peer.

Another catch is that all the other URLs in the headers and body of the
request are NOT re-written, which leads to clashes.
