I checked it a minute ago on my Grumpy gopher server, and Grumpy is
ignoring the second (and any following) line. In fact, when the server
gets the very first line, it stops listening to anything, and just
outputs what it has to output, and close the connection.

Anyway - a support for Virtual Hosts could be indeed very interesting!
An idea would to be to use additionnal lines of the request to put some
extra headers there (like in HTTP). Also, there should be some flag in
the first line, which should indicate that it's an "extended" Gopher
request, to let the server now that it has to listen for some following
lines (until, say, an empty CR/LF occurs).
