Hi,

I have been running couple of Drupal based sites from last 1year.

Now i want to create a community portal with initially around 5 subdomains which might grow upto 12 more.
I have read through many of the posts on multi-site installation and have setup a test system successfully.

current config: Shared code, Single database, separate content

Now my issue is to make a part of the content shared between all subdomains.
like:
I have mysite.com
drupal1.mysite.com, drupal2.mysite.com .... drupal5.mysite.com each one having its own content and mysite.com would have pointers to the subdomains.

Now i want any content created on mysite.com to be available on all of the subdomains. Like if i want to announce something which concerns all the subdomains, i create it in mysite.com and the story/page should be available on the subdomain's list of latest posts.

Any pointer on how i can approach this??

Thanks a lot in advance

I'd like to know more about this too. I am working on providing a large number of subdomains, where sharing some content and possibly even the users table is on the table.

I've been using DotNetNuke for a while and it has sub-portal feature built-in in the core way down to table structure.
I mean, each module/content entry's table has a column namely 'portalId' which differentiate the portal scope.
This structure made DotNetNuke very scalable in terms of sub-portals.

I think Drupal is not implemented that way
