I or myself tried the solution buildin into Apache through the 'Virtual Host' approach. Name-based VHosts do exactly what you are tring to archieve: serving content based upon the requested domain/hostname. This even ives the ability to create 'failback hosts' so, if the server is requesed either of its 'dns' or vhost-names or its ip-address , the server responds the respoective content (from the vhost) or if no matchin vhost is found, it serves the default one.

Another solution is to use SERVER_NAME instead of HTTP_HOST. This only works if UseCanonicalName is Off, though. Great idea!
