[development] RE : Advice on module writing

[Larry Garfield]

I have done user-sharing via multi-site table prefixes before.  For the 
love of god, don't do it.  You're begging for trouble.

I am pretty sure that with the right add-on modules like domain_path, 
Domain Access can do what you want, or at least close enough.

For more information on multi-headed Drupal options, see:

and the movie version:
