HTTP 1.1 or name based httpd on VS-NAT

It just occured to me that a real-server in a VS-NAT LVS
is listening on the RIP. The client is sending to the VIP.
In an HTTP 1.1 or name based httpd, doesn't the server
get a request with the URL (which will have the VIP) 
in the payload of the packet (where an L4 switch doesn't see it)?

Won't the server be unhappy about this? This has come up
before with name based https and for indexing of webpages.

Does anyone know how to force an HTTP 1.1 connection
(or to check whether the connection was HTTP 1.0 or 1.1)
so we can check this?

Joe
