As far as I can think, it seems you have to have a table (siteId, 
action, url) for mapping. Then will have to override action mapper like 
rest-plugin but is very simpler. Then will have to override Struts tags 
whom generate url e.g. url and action tags and use your customized tags 
in all jsps instead. Generally you will have both sides translator based 
on that mapping table.

These are all what I'm able to think and I'm not sure if are good practices.

Your suggestions are ok for processing requests but are not to write urls
(how to determine correct url) in jsps or other presentation layer output.
To handle both sides a more sophisticated solution is needed.

I think you can do these in several layers. At web server layer [1]. 
Simpler, at Servlet layer [2] or more harder, at Struts layer like [3]. 
It seems you just need rewriting url before Struts and if I were you, I 
tried [2], a Servlet filter before Struts filter.
