Sounds like my guess was pretty close.

If all the extra mounted file systems are like rpm, mounted just
under /var/www, then you might consider a DLE using wildcards
like this (again, untested)

   jupiter.domain.org /var/www {
        tar-med
        include file "./*"      # may include several mount points
   }

I'd suggest a comment because someone looking at that a year from
now might think "why add the include line, it is redundant".
