That is exactly how to do it - set up a single file (e.g. index.php3) which
is also set to be the 404 page. When the request arrives, $HTTP_HOST will
have the name of the server the user requested.  At that point you could get
as fancy as you want looking up the URL (e.g. multiple hostnames in domain,
default for domain, etc) and finally do a Header("Location:
$URL_for_domain").
