You could achieve this by using different firewall marks for the 
different traffic classes, and shape upon that marks. IIRC there is an 
iptables-extension available that allows to match strings, so you could 
try to match "Host: <domain>" in order to distinguish the different 
domains. But I have no idea if this would work in real world, nor what 
performance impact that may have.
