I beg to differ - in all reality the site design (central site, hub and spoke) is a good one. No problems there at all. It's a matter of making decisions on WHO should be talking to whom. You are, however asking the right questions.
Interesting, however that I just read an article last night that pointed me to this exact question. I'd recommend reading through this, get your arms around your current situation, then pose the narrower questions back to us. In all reality, the author does such a great job in explaining the subject that I'd do a disservice in trying to paraphrase. BTW - this article is worth it's weight. Well done and quite thoughtful and though provoking. http://www.mcpmag.com/Features/article.asp?EditorialsID=297 Good luck!
