That's the best suggestion so far, but can you explain how I should do 
it? The virtual host spec is in my jetty.xml file (I'm still using v8, 
but considering switching to 9, a decision which you'll no doubt 
applaud!) inside a block which starts with:

  <Call name="setHandler">
    <Arg>
      <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">...

So, can I just follow this with another nearly-identical setHandler 
block but pointing at a different Descriptor and Resource-Base, and with 
a VH spec as follows?

  <Set name="virtualHosts">
     <Array type="java.lang.String">
        <Item>*</Item>
     </Array>
  </Set>

I gather from your answer that the default response page is hard-wired 
somewhere where I can't customise it easily...
