John, Your jetty.xml you posted does not look correctly configured. You should have a HandlerList containing a ContextHandlerCollection (which contains your webapp with its virtual host setup) and a DefaultHandler. If you webapp does not answer the request because the virtual hosts don't match, the request will fall through the HandlerList to the DefaultHandler. Now, the DefaultHandler is not particularly customizable, however you could easily write your own handler to pump out the kind of error page you want.
