Originally this was a question, but considering is something I need for my 
business, I added "JOB POST" to the title. 
If you consider that you know how to achieve what I need, I'm willing to 
pay for the work. 
Sorry if this is not the place to ask for a web2py developer (in that case, 
the post is still a question to the group).


To help you understand, first let me tell *what I have right now*:

   - I have one web2py instance running. 
   - I developed two web2py apps that, together, they allow you to have 
   your website (like a blog) and manage it yourself:
      - the first app is the public website, and right now it is accessible 
      through the top level domain: mywebsite.com
      - one of the apps is the control panel, where you can post/edit new 
      articles, etc, and it is accessible through a subdomain: 
panel.mywebsite.com
   - I have several websites running, each one with its top level domain.

I got all this working using *parameter-based* routing:

routers = dict(
    BASE=dict(
        default_controller='default',
        default_function='index',
        domains={
            # one website
            'recipes.com': 'recipes',
            'panel.recipes.com': 'recipes_panel',
            # another website
            'traveler.com': 'traveler',
            'panel.traveler.com': 'traveler_panel',
            # ... several more websites ...
        },
        root_static=['robots.txt'],
        map_static=True,
        exclusive_domain=True,
    )
)

*Note that with exclusive_domain=True, each app is accessible only through 
one specific domain, and it's not possible to access it from another 
domain.*

However, consider this: what if I want to setup SSL for a website? 
I would have to buy a wildcard SSL certificate, because I have the website 
divided in two parts, one of them (the control panel) in a subdomain. 
Wildcard SSL certificates are usually more expensive, and I don't want to 
force that.




Considering all that, here is *what I want to achieve*:

   - Each website still would be formed by two web2py apps, so in our 
   example, we would still have these four web2py apps: 
      - applications/recipes
      - applications/recipes_panel
      - applications/traveler
      - applications/traveler_panel
      
      - The public portion of a website would still have to be served in 
   the top level domain, and the default controller and default function would 
   be 'default' and 'index' respectively, so:
      - recipes.com/ --------------->  /recipes/default/index
      - recipes.com/contact  ---->  /recipes/default/contact
      - recipes.com/load/init ---->  /recipes/load/init
      - *(same stuff for every other domain)*
      
      - The control panel (and this is how it gets tricky) would have to be 
   served through /panel (notice that the app name is different), so:
      - recipes.com/panel  -------------------> 
       /recipes_panel/default/index
      - recipes.com/panel/contenido ------> 
       /recipes_panel/default/contenido
      - recipes.com/panel/ads/new -------->  /recipes_panel/ads/new
      
      - traveler.com/panel  -------------------> 
       /traveler_panel/default/index
      - traveler.com/panel/contenido ------> 
       /traveler_panel/default/contenido
      - traveler.com/panel/ads/new -------->  /traveler_panel/ads/new
      
      - Each domain would allow to access only the couple of apps regarding 
   that website, that is:
      - "recipes" and "recipes_panel" apps would only be accessible trough 
      recipes.com domain
      - "traveler" and "traveler_panel" apps would only be accessible 
      trough traveler.com domain
   


I think I need to use *pattern-based *routing system, but I've never used 
python's regular expressions at all. I'm reading about it and doing some 
tests, but I'm having a hard time to figure out how should I do it.
Remember that I'm willing to pay for the job if you consider that you know 
how to do it. 

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Lisandro.
