[support] : multiple site, on database confusion

[will hall]

thanks for the replies everyone. i'm new to server admin issues in 
general, which adds to my confusion.

how exactly does drupal know to display one theme for one domain and a 
different them for a different one if they are both running off the same 
database? there doesn't seem to be anything in settings.php which 
affects that.

i appreciate the help with understanding all this.
