I am just getting started with Drupal, and I would like to maintain 3 separate portal pages, each for a different audience (not logged in user group/type/?, just different content intended for different audiences, specifically 'current students', 'alums', 'faculty/staff'). I would like these pages to be accessible at:

audience1.mydomain.com
audience2.mydomain.com
audience3.mydomain.com

and perhaps all these would be controlled by an administrator via

drupal.mydomain.com (perhaps the above subdomains are subdirectories of this subdomain mapped as unique subdomains?)

I'm not sure what approach to take. What combo of apache/dns subdomain configuration and drupal pages/subdomain modules would be the cleanest to start with? I guess I need a little help understanding how drupal URLs work as well - are there physical directories that I could map?

I'm *just* getting started with Drupal, so if any of this is jibberish, I am happy to elaborate.

Thanks for any help for the noob.

This link might give you some ideas, at the very least it'll get you started:
http://www.faqdrupal.com/faq/how-do-i-setup-multiple-subdomains-use-one-...

The above link assumes that you want three seperate sub-domains representing three separate sites.
If you want your audience form all three domains to access the content, then the obave example won't work ... unless you create a custom module to pull content from the other databases.

good luck

I don't think I was clear - I would like each subdomain to serve a different page from within a single drupal site, so no multiple databases.

Try take a peek at this module if it is any good.
