The parametric router won't do this for you directly. You could, though, use
the parametric router and put something like this at the beginning of db.py:
extract the subdomain from request.env.get('HTTP_HOST') and insert it as
element 0 of request.args.
web2py's outgoing URLs don't ordinarily include the domain, unless you
explicitly pass it (or a scheme) to URL() as an argument.
WAYRTTD?
