Dave illustrates the problem(s) pretty well.
I don't understand why we're so hung up on
http://X.mythical.host.com/
http://Y.mythical.host.com/
Why can't we go directly to "non home" or sub-pages?
Why can't we do things like this:
http://service.provider.net/home_page_X
http://service.provider.net/home_page_Y
Perhaps I've forgotten why, if the original poster indicated.
Ramani? What was the problem with this approach?
