You don't really need the querystring info. You could just hard-code all
of the site pages and then set up each site with links to all required
pages. You could then have a line of code on every page which checks the
domain and inserts the link to the required CSS file in a (preferably)
server-side script. You *could* use javascript, but it would be less
effective. But...

...I would prefer to centralise the content in a database, then I could
pull it in *from* anywhere *to* anywhere I wanted. This would give me a
lot more flexibility.
