Do I understand correctly that you just one to save the httpdocs directories,
excluding everything else?  If that is correct then for each domain as
a DLE you could have simply an "include ./httpdocs" directive.  That
would exclude everything except the included stuff.

If you want a single DLE it could have several includes eg.

  include file ./domain123.de/httpdocs append
  include file ./anotherdomain.com/httpdocs append
  include file ./domainxyz.de/httpdocs append
