RC6 -> RC7

Thanks scitech for fixing this!

Note that not only Typo3 handles multi-domain installs.
Drupal supports them out of the box, as well.
And, for multi-language sites using subdomains (such as en.foo.bar, de.foo.bar, fr.foo.bar) it obviously relies on all subdomains being routed to the same Drupal install (= mountpoint).
Creating redirects for every subdomain is in these cases not more than a workaround.

From my POV, we should take the opposite direction and allow the whole Second level domain branch with arbitrary subdomains to be directed to the same mountpoint. Which means, we would add the option to delegate the whole subdomain handling to the mountpoint, which may then managed by .htaccess, Drupal or whatever.

The latter, as a feature request, probably won't get into 1.0.0...?
However, as the restriction newly imposed in RC7 breaks support for certain CMS configurations (within RC bugfix period!), to me this even warrants an RC7a or (together with some more fixes) an RC8 in a week or two.

I've not yet worked with ispCPs sources, but am experienced in PHP, so as soon as I find some time, I'm gonna trawl your code and provide a patch adding this feature.
