[support] Intranet

[Dan Katz]

Domain is probably a bad idea for an intranet, as it's likely that
there are significantly different business requirements from between a
public facing site and the intranet:

-different users
-different content
-different access controls

Domain module is great when you have multiple sites that need to share
some content, but for an intranet I would recommend a standalone
drupal instance or if that wasn't possible a multisite configuration
with your public facing site.

I've seen many intranets built on the organic groups solution
(http://drupal.org/project/og). Other than that, stick to the basic
Drupal building blocks - content types, views, blocks, etc... I like
context (http://drupal.org/project/context) for defining "landing
pages" and laying out your main pages.

Good luck!
