Sharing one Cake application with many domains, each with its own database

Hello,

We have a shared hosting server that hosts many domains (we will assume that the amount will be scalable).  We develop a Cake application and each domain has a copy of the application's files.  Each copy of the application connects to each domain's database.

Deploying updates to each domain is an incredibly tiresome and tedious process.  We want to consider alternative setups that will make this process easier.

We have thought of one alternative, but are unsure of the scalability of them:
  • Place one copy of the Cake application on the server and create sym links for the shared files.  Domain specific files will of course be unique for each domain

Has anyone had a similar issue or experience?

If anyone has any suggestions or previous experience with a similar issue, please share!
