I work with sub domains on my live and test systems, but with single
host on my dev and sandbox systems.

I use express as the web framework and my first route is something
like this:

app.get('*', function(req, res, next) {
  var host = req.headers.host;
  var url = req.url;
  if (host === env.vHost1) {
    req.url = '/vHost1' + req.url;
  } else if (host === env.vHost2) {
    req.url = '/vHost2' + req.url;
  } else if (host === env.vHost3) {
    req.url = '/vHost3' + req.url
  } else if (host === env.vHost4) {
    req.url = '/vHost4' + req.url;
  }
  next();
});

Pretty simple, but works for me (just followed KISS). If the number of
vhosts increased I would just add the host part to the url without
going through if clauses.

I made it like this, because on my dev instance, for example, I only
have localhost and all the links in my navigation bar adjust
accordingly. I built a relationship between my environment and my
links.

Up to now, I didn't face any problems with the live system and adding
another vhost has been as simple as adding another if clause.

Lothar
