At some top level, you must have some common URL root that identifies
your service.  For example:
    http://mysite.com/localmgmt/other/data?additional=data
    http://mysite.com/localmgmt/some/pages?other=info

If everything starts with "localmgmt", then that's what you need to
mount in your CherryPy tree.  The rest of the URL arrives in
cherrypy.request.path_info, and you can parse that in whatever way you'd
like.
