Hi,

I would just use NIntegrate[Boole[D(x1,x2,x3,...,xn) < L],{whatever your
limits in xi}]. possibly with a Monte-Carlo method. If integration limits in
coordinates depend on other coordinates in a way that is hard to
disentangle, I would  find the minimal multidimensional "box" with fixed
dimensions that contains your domain, and integrate over that box.

Regards,
Leonid
