That's correct. Although in one instance I also need to differentiate
between the 'www' subdomain (main websites homepage) and the user subdomains
(users custom homepages). Thus forwarding "/" to two different actionBeans.
Not sure, if something like that could also be handled by a reverse proxy
though.

I've tested that approach and that seems to work just fine:
@DefaultHandler
public Resolution viewForm() {
String domain = getContext().getRequest().getLocalName();
String subDomain = domain.substring(0, domain.indexOf('.'));
if ( subDomain.toLowerCase().equals("www")) {
return new ForwardResolution(HomepageAction.class); // goto
regular homepage
} else {
return new ForwardResolution(UserAction.class); // goto
subdomain homepage
}

I agree, but what about the code that generates URL's in Stripes: is that
only the UrlBuilder class? Or does URL generation in Stripes depend also on
other classes? If not, what would be the best way to intergrate you're own
custom UrlBuilder class?
