Re: Using multiple domains on one app to create four seperate sites

You can use apache's namevirtualhost directive plus server aliases to point all the domains to the same web root. After that all you have to do is inspect the hostname in the $SERVER super global and use that to switch the app's theme (this gives you the flexibility to have domain specific layouts, views and elements) or just switch the layout. A good place to deal with this is the beforefilter callback.
