Not really sure about what you mean. In each settings.php file, you
point it to different database, unless you want to use the same db so
this is another issue you want to look on. But from what you said
earlier, the site not dependent on each other so it already isolated -
being in different database.

One issue that I always had problem with multi-site setup is the
'files' folder. Since you are using single Drupal source, it mean you
only have one DocumentRoot for all sites. Now you should decide how
user would access the static 'files'. One way you could create sub
folder for each domain, something like:-

files/
files/example1.com/
files/example2.com/

Then user would access let say building.jpg through
www.example1.com/files/example1.com/building.jpg

It's a bit weird but you have to somehow structure you file system for
the static content to leave. Another cleaner approach  is to create
alias in your apache VirtualHost setting (provided you have access to
it or your webhost provide some way to achieve that).

You can set in your VirtualHost something like:-

<VirtualHost *>
  ServerName www.example1.com
  DocumentRoot /home/user/www
  <Directory "/home/user/www">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

  Alias /files /home/user/static/example1.com
</VirtualHost>

This way, static content can still be access through
www.example1.com/files/building.jpg
