nginx proxy_pass configuration to virtualhost

[Tim Spencer | Spacesharing GmbH]

Hi,

I would like to redirect to an external URL which is hosted as a apache 
virtual host.
nginx resolves the host of the url which obviously does little to 
resolve to the correct web root on the server.

|  server {
             server_name localhost;
             location / {
                     proxy_set_header Host $host;
                     proxy_pass http://www.urlforvirtualhost.com;
             }
     }
|

The question is how do I allow proxy_pass without nginx resolving the 
ip-address of the host?

I have googled but obviously too many search result feature nginx 
configuration for virtual hosts.

Any hints would be kindly appreciated.
