Custom URL Structure with WordPress MU (2 posts)

    Hey everyone,

    I'm using wordpress MU to make a site for a software company. The structure I want is something like the following:

    home
    |- about
    |- blog
    |- support
    |- product 1 support blog
    |- product 2 support blog
    |- product 3 support blog
    |- products
    |- product 1
    |- features
    |- benefits
    |- etc.
    |- product 2
    |- features
    |- benefits
    |- etc.

    I have the products section working beautifully with pages and subpages. The URLs are clean and make sense (e.g., /products/product1/features/) but I'm having trouble with the support section.

    The URLs I'd like to see are: /support/, /support/product1/, /support/product2/, etc. The page at /support/ would be an overview, with links to the support blogs and some excerpts from the latest post on each blog.

    I tried to accomplish this by creating a page called support then subpages called product1, product2, etc. The subpages used a page template that would use switch_to_blog(id) and then just include the index.php template file with the loop. Everything works great until you try to go to a single post. I tried using the permalink structure of /support/product1/my-post-title, but it keeps wanting to redirect to the main blog.

    Sorry for the long post. Is what I'm doing even possible without some hacking in core files?

    Thanks
