Hi Daniel,
I don't have specific experience of what you are asking but if you
wanted to put several domains on the same server (yes, that is not
what you are asking), you could have a single cake install which you
share amongst all of them. If you wanted to have 2+ servers and each
of them needs to use cake you would put cake on each of them - sharing
across a network doesn't make sense to me at all.
Do your image and video domains require cake though? Seems unnecessary
to me - If you don't need access control to your images/videos you
definitely don't but if you do, as you are going to be putting <a
href="http://images.mydomain/anImageUrl"; >... in your app code - you
can put anything in there such that your subdomains have as little
logic as possible to meet your requirements (e.g. shared sessions
across subdomains, check for x, if present serve requested image/video
otherwise no).
