You can't do named virtual hosts for https (proxied or not) because the 
Host: header needed to identify the named site will be encrypted and you 
need to know the host to use the right certificate to match up.  You'll 
always hit the default host regardless of the name passed.  You can do 
it with IP or port based virtual hosts - but then you might as well 
port-forward.
