My situation is:
I have a website example.com, i want to mirror this site completely except for the theme so that in apache i can direct mobile devices to m.example.com where they can use exactly the same site but with a mobile optimised theme.
I know there are numerous mobile modules out there but they suffer from caching limitations, ie, when a page is accessed from a computer, that same cached page is sent to any subsequent requests, including mobiles.
I know there are also domain/subdomain modules out there also but they are overweight for what i need.
I currently have my main site and a subdomain '/sites/m.example.com' which has the theme folder and settings.php which points to the main database.
I can access and use both sites, the problem is that all links on the original main site are relative so when i access the site via m.example.com, it will try and display files/content from http://m.example.com/sites/default/files/... instead of http://example.com/sites/default/files/... where the file actually resides.
is there a way to rewrite all file access links from m.example.com to example.com?
I would like to achieve this without adding yet more bulky modules if anyone has any ideas? I'm trying to make this as lightweight as possible.
I suppose this would also have to cover file uploads too.
Many thanks!

Isn't this just a matter of using multiple themes? I do this on the Historic Narrow Boat Owners Club website:
Main site theme www.hnboc.org.uk
Accessible theme: accessible.hnboc.org.uk
Mobile theme: mobile.hnboc.org.uk
The theme selection is done with a bit of code I found on here somewhere (sorry I forget where, but I'm not claiming the credit!) that sits in settings.php:
$parts = explode('.', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
if(in_array('mobile',$parts)) {
$GLOBALS['custom_theme'] = 'mobile';
}
else {
if(in_array('accessible',$parts)) {
$GLOBALS['custom_theme'] = 'high_contrast';
}
else {
// use usual theme
}
}

The other way to do it
Would you not be able to move default file location to /files or somewhere similar instead of sites/example.com/files where both sites share the location and get the files referenced without the fully qualified link?
Have a look here, there are some references to files issues with multi-site setups
