I don't know. I'll try that out. In thinking this through, another
question sprung to mind:<br>
<br>
If these categories are going to be various demos, with the intent of
pushing a database overwrite hourly to repair any pummeling done via

Right, so sub.domain/category_1 would run off the same code instance as
sub.domain/category_2, but separate db's
