Single node.js http server accepting connections on multiple hostnames

Question

Is it possible to create single http server in node.js which will accept connections on multiple hostnames? For example: I have a number of subdomains (x1.domain.com, x2.domain.com, ... xn.domain.com) bound to an IP address and I want node.js program to accept connections only on x1.domain.com and x2.domain.com.

This should be possible with the 'vhost' middleware of ConnectJS:

Those docs are rather lacking, but looks like the ever-prolific TJ has an example here:
