How would I make Vbulletins on different sites with one DB

[royli57]

Hi

I run a forum on a portal that also has sites in different countries and languages. I want to offer VBulletin on some of the other sites that use english, namely Canada and Australia. I want to make it so that each site has its own folder for the forum, but the threads and user-database are all shared for the english sites.

http://forums.crossmap.com - this is the main forum
http://au.crossmap.com/forums - this is a mirror forum
http://ca.crossmap.com/forums - this is a mirror forum

Each forum should exist in its own folder on different servers but connect to the central DB. Each forum should be customizable so that for all purposes, it is its own forum.

I am wondering about what would happen if one country sets the style - it seems like it would be modified on the DB level which would affect the other countries.

Any ideas where to begin?

Thanks

Roy
