Come to think of it, a dummy resource is better:
define foo () { }
node /app\d+\.example\.com$/ {
foo { 'app\d.+\.example\.com$': }
}
In that case you will be searching for the title of resource 'foo'.
The problem with my previous class solution was that it would only
work for 1 node search case due to lack of uniqueness. Sorry about
that :-).
