Sorry for the delay in answering this. I think you're talking about virtual serving. This is something that works for web requests because a web browser passes the domain name to the server in its request. Ftp does no such thing - so the server has no way to know which domain the client is looking for. Proftp does virtual hosting, but what it's really doing is setting up different characteristics based on the user logging in. So, your users would need to be authenticated. If that's OK, proftpd is the way to go. Otherwise, you could have people download through http - set up a web page that requires some kind of authentication. That would be based on domain.
