And to answer my own question, here's what I came up with:

# Get site number from FQDN
SITENUMBER=`ls -alF /home/sites/$SITENAME`
SITENUMBER=${SITENUMBER#*/home/sites/site}
SITENUMBER=${SITENUMBER%%/}

It works exactly as I wanted it, returning a site number when given a
sitename (eg, it turns www.domain.com into 22 which I then prepend with the
word 'site' to come up with site22). Anyone who can improve on it, please
let me know, I am new to programming the shell and this is probably the hard
way to do it.

Now, I'm looking for a way to turn the site number into the login of the
site admin. So far, the only thing I've come up with is to grep the
/etc/passwd file for the site number. This sort of works, but produces a
list of every user associated with that site instead of just the site admin.
Suggestions as to where I should look for this info would be greatly
appreciated and any code resulting from the info will be posted to the list
for others to use.

TIA,
