Greets.

Hey people. I'm currently working on a project where the client wants to be able to create a whole new drupal site from within drupal and not have to do any tedious setting up / configuration (ah, non-technical people...), so I found this group and figured it'd be a good place to go for advice as needed. :)

Does anyone here have any experience using the multisite manager module? That's what I'm currently playing with. I think that I can use mod_rewrite to convert testsite.com to realsite.com/site/testsite.com and get that working with hostnames, but I need to look into mod_rewrite to see if that's doable.

I've also noticed a couple references to sharing tables between sites. How are you guys doing that? It makes sense design-wise, but I don't grok how you could have two sites share, say, authmap and not node.

Thanks!
