You want to have

  proxy_set_header Host $host;

unless $host is this IP address, in which case you want a different value?

  set $myhost $host;
  if ($host = '23.71.33.142') { set $myhost www.domain.com; }
  proxy_set_header Host $myhost;

where the first two are at server{} level, and the last is at server{}
or location{} level.

Using the "map" directive is another way of setting your $myhost variable.
