I am not sure I completely understand your question, but I am going to assume that your field extractions are not working when you have rename attribute set.

Sourcetype renaming is a search time operation that happens before field extractions. Thus Splunk will use search-time field extractions defined in [httpd-access] stanza for events that have been indexed as coming from the "access" sourcetype. Give the following props.conf stanzas (in the search head) a test run

[access]
rename = httpd-access

[httpd-access]
EXTRACT-ip = [(?P<ip>[^]]+)
EXTRACT-host = (?i)^[^,]*,d+s+(?P<host>[^ ]+)
