If the only reason you're splitting up the networks is in order to have separate content on each (and perhaps in the future, separate support people), I don't think it's a good idea. From a user's perspective, it'd be a little annoying because they'd need (I think) to create a separate account on each of the networks. And by default wifidog won't display a Google map of all networks' hotspots, just one network at a time.
<br><br>If you're thinking of having an entirely different (visual design) template for each network, then you might want to consider it, but otherwise, I'd say use the existing wifidog content management tools for handling different "groups"/"sub-networks" of content, and/or build new features to simplify managing the content.
<br><br>Even if you do want a separate visual design for each, you could probably add that feature using a few php tweaks, without losing the advantages of running a single server.<br><br>Gabe<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<div>We are setting up a new regional wireless network based on WiFiDog, in the Montérégie region of Québec.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(See <a href="http://www.monteregiesansfil.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.monteregiesansfil.org</a>)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In fact, we are sharing a single physical server with Centre du Québec Sans Fil (<u>http://</u><a href="http://www.centreduquebecsansfil.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.centreduquebecsansfil.org
</a>), who have created two virtual hosts on our shared machine.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Because of the large geographical size of the region, we would like to split our coverage of Montérégie into a number of WiFiDog networks in our virtual machine. This will allow us to create sub-region-specific content on the login and portal pages for the sub-regions - for example, a Longueuil network, a Brossard network, a Granby network, and so on. Each sub-region could eventually have its own support staff of volunteers. All runing on our half of a single physical server.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is this do-able? What are the theoretical and practical limits on the number of networks that can run on a single WiFiDog installation?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any opinions, experience or advice would be appreciated.</div>
