I am looking to provide a Small Town portal site to promote the business and clubs in our area(could be up to 100 or so businesses if they all wanted to take part).
The front page would have latest offers, shop of the day, club news etc you no the sort of thing.
From the answer I was given in forum It seems the Domain Access module would be the best answer, since I need to be able to pull content from the sub domain sites onto the main domain home page.
I have spent the past few hours reading comments on the multisite groups site and have found a problem.
In one of the posts it was stated that the DA module may fall over when you get past 20 or so sites.
If this is true is there another way of providing the required set up. One portal site with sub domains coming off it, subs to have main site menu and sub site menu. Content from subs to be available to place on main site .
The last thing I want is for the site to work to start with then have problems once it starts to get popular.

It looks like you created an issue addressing the same questions. As the replies there have said, Domain Access itself is unlikely to cause you too many more problems than you'll encounter just by having a large site in general.
Would you mind linking to the post you found about DA "falling over?" I'm sure there were other elements in play in that circumstance.
