I would give a try to slim's Route Conditions. You should be able to specify something like this to allow dots in your parameter:

$app->get('/:domain/:id', function($domain, $id) {
    echo $domain . ' ' . $id;
})->conditions(array('domain' => '[a-zA-Z\.]+'));

If this does not work, you should think on using another character instead of a dot to separate the domain name from the TLD and then replace it in the function:

$app->get('/:domain/:id', function($domain, $id) {
    $domain = str_replace('_', '.', $domain);
    echo $domain . ' ' . $id;
})->conditions(array('domain' => '[a-zA-Z_]+'));

It is not so elegant, but it works.
