Butch,
We have developed an inhouse product which does such but it is sold on an asp
basis (and I am working on an opensource variant for the future), so I can give
you globally the idea how we did this and look.
Each site is an application based on a cm system. They all use the same
codebase, whereas each object is available as a shared object. If there is a
bug in the object, a single file change would accommodate all clients. So if
you have 20 sites they all are fixed at once. For the sites who require custom
objects they can be overridden.
By per site configuration you can specify the database to use, and you are able
to share content stores, workflow, etc. whatever you need.
Maybe you should take a look at FarCry (or if you have the money, CommonSpot),
I bet they deliver similair functionality without the need for you to reinvent
the wheel.

Subject: Deployment of Multiple Websites with almost identical Info
Hi Everyone,
My company has asked me to deploy multiple websites for multiple countries
each with it¹s own domain. Each country will have info slightly modified to
reflect their own information (events, news, special promos), but the bulk
of the information will be the same.
Here¹s my question:
1. What are other web developers doing in this circumstance?
2. Is there cf content management software that would allow me to use
multiple domains and maintain only one whole site, sharing pages that would
be the same for every site?
3. Or should I deploy a site for each domain and update each manually even
though most of the info is the same?
Hopefully this isn¹t to broad a question for this list. I¹m very interested
to find out if others in the CF community already have working solutions.
Any help would be much appreciated.
