The forcedomain= option on the cache_peer directive makes Squid re-write
the domain it sends to the peer.

If you are truely using two domain names publicly for the same API
service you are only causing trouble for yourself and the rest of the
Internet. Please don't.

If you are working a transition from an old name to a new name then the
301 redirect is the correct way to do it. That ensures the clients are
all informed about the new name in a way that does not break anything,
AND clients which understand the 301 status will automatically change
all their references to the old name to the new one.
