virtualHostFilter is not well-documented yet but here is how you use it:

cherrypy.config.update({
'http://mydom2.com': {
'virtualHostFilter.on': True,
'virtualHostFilter.prefix': '/mydom2'},
'http://mydom3.com': {
'virtualHostFilter.on': True,
'virtualHostFilter.prefix': '/mydom3'},

})

However,this won't work with the current 2.1-rc2 release because specifying
canonical paths for config keys is broken in this version ...
I'll try to fix it tomorow.

Remi.
