I think you've discovered a bug in httperf.  the following change (and a
recompile) should fix the problem:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ $

   else if (!call->req.iov[IE_HOST].iov_base)
     {
       /* Default call's hostname to connection's hostname: */
-      call->req.iov[IE_HOST].iov_base = (caddr_t) conn->hostname;
-      call->req.iov[IE_HOST].iov_len = conn->hostname_len;
+      call->req.iov[IE_HOST].iov_base = (caddr_t) conn->fqdname;
+      call->req.iov[IE_HOST].iov_len = conn->fqdname_len;
     }

   /* NOTE: the protocol version indicates what the _client_ can

------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i.e., change "conn->hostname" to "conn->fqdname" on line 973 of core.c,
and "conn->hostname_len" to "conn->fqdname_len" on line 974)
