I have been playing with the multisite feature in Drupal and had a couple questions.
I have 3 domains utilizing the multisite feature of one Drupal install
but wished the content of each domain to be seperate from one another.
~different themes
~different content
with the same user interface and taxonomy

When I post new Content, it shows on front page of all domains.
Is it possible to seperate content by domain?

explain more about how you set up your multisite ?

are you using table prefixes ?

have you set tables to be shared in your settings.php file ?

or do you have all three sites sharing the exact same database & tables?

Currently using single database with different settings.php files
I wasnt aware you could specify shared tables in the settings file.
Are there any good multi site tutorials out there?

You should use completely separate databases for each domain. You *can* use ONE database and when you setup a new domain set its prefixes (last option in the Advanced options on the first setup page) differently than the base install... for instance:

Main install - set to drupal_
second domain set to seconddomain_
third set to thirddomain_

but I would strongly suggest completely separate databases to give you the most options in the future for moving domains, adding domains, backing up domains, isolating domains from database corruption, ease of maintaining EACH site's database in general.

And of course, it will lead you to perfectly separate content. You will not be able to share taxonomy in this way, but I think the benefits, and avoidance of potential disasters to be well worth the compromise.
