Just making some educated guess now, because i never tried it but i think you could modify vB to do the following (would need some work):
- Setup 1 Board
- Add styles for each subdomain
- Create an additional table linking domains to styleid's
- Check the domain/style on each page load and set accordingly.
- Create a table to hold the Titles for each domain and use that to override the default Sitename
- The changes needed to a CMS would depends on which CMS you choose to use.

You will probably need to add some caching to prevent performance going down.

Marco, thank you for your response. An interesting approach indeed. I think it may work out well.

I'm curious where in the vB code I would check for the domain and set the templates/styles to use.

I find it quite interesting that this situation seems to be more difficult in vB, a more advanced BBS, then it was in UBB, a highly inferior product.

PS There will be more caveats in this then i have now mentioned.

What comes to mind?? I don't expect a full evaluation, but I'm just curious as to what initally comes to mind.
