   So I've got the generic installation working perfectly fine, but now I have a couple of questions regarding usage.

   Here is my setup:
   Site 1 -> Domain1.com
   -----------> Domain2.com
   -----------> Domain3.com
   Site 2 -> Domain4.com
   Site 3 -> Domain5.com
   -----------> Domain6.com

   And the questions:
   1. How can I make any new registrations for any domains under sites other than 1 use their own sites instead of Site 1? Essentially, if I am on Domain6.com and try to register it redirects to Domain1.com instead of Domain5.com.
   -- The Networks for WordPress plugin says that in order to have a single root installation with subdomains (what I did) you need to modify the core WP files to allow for the proper site to come up:

   2. One directory / WordPress core modifications

   1. DNS should resolve each desired domain to your webserver.
   2. Change /wp-includes/ms-load.php or /wpmu-settings.php file (depending on your WordPress version) to handle multiple rows from the sites table.
   3. Your webserver should serve the WordPress files when someone requests the desired domain ( via a new VirtualHost with appropriate DocumentRoot, or with a ServerAlias directive )
   4. If you create a new VirtualHost and use per-VirtualHost Directory statements, ensure that the new VirtualHost�s Directory statement has adequate permissions.

   Has anyone done this? I can't find a tutorial anywhere. Is there a plugin?

   2. Can I use the domain associated with a blog to handle registrations even if it isn't the parent site?
   IE: Domain2.com is used in all paths (and themeing) even though the registration is valid for any site under Domain1.com

   Thanks

   Do not edit core files. That is totally not needed to have multiple networks, as you can see from the *other* multi-network plugin.

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/

   A plugin has to be written to allow signup on other networks.

   Thanks Andrea. It does seem a shortcoming that we can't sign-up on the network the blog is a part of. I'll have to look into it and see if it is possible or not...

   Well, yes, it's *possible*..... :D

   I thought you meant a drop-down to show all the other networks so the user can pick from one spot. That you'll have to write.

   Otherwise, they just go to wp-signup.php on whatever network and... .sign up.
