http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule#proxy_pass says, among other things,

"""
Note that the HTTP Host header is not forwarded, but is set based on
the proxy_pass statement.
"""

That agrees with the "default" value of proxy_set_header, as per
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule#proxy_set_header

Possibly you want to use something like

proxy_set_header Host $host;

near your proxy_pass line above.

Alternatively, if you know what the host name you want to use is, you
can just use it directly.

Good luck,
