That is, what docs says and how I understand it.

by "the request" I understood the destination IP address and port where the
request came, independently on the Host: header.

by "host receiving the request" I understood the virtual host (on the given
IP) whose ServerName or ServerAlias match the provided Host: header. If none
VirtualHost matches, the first has to be used.
