Then write a wrapper view for all interfaces that internally looks up the next 
site and looks up the default view:

class SiteDefaultView(object):

  def __call__(self):
	site = getNextSiteSomehow()
	defaultViewName = getDefaultViewName(site, self.request, site)
	view = zapi.getMultiAdapter((site, request), Interface, name=defaultViewName)
	return view()
