what is existing today?

http://www.liferay.com/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=PUB.1.67

Here they claim the multiple domains are hosted on single instance of liferay portal and each portal exists in its own space based on the company's id. Can you get more clarification on this.

As i had mentioned early multiple domains can acheived by creating many liferay containers with different company ids.( copies of /webapps/root folder). is this the same process? In that case its not single instance of liferay but multiple instance.

Can I tie pages to sub domains?

In the next version of liferay there is option to set virtual host(subdomains or domains) to the communities. I want to know if the subdomains can be mapped to individual pages say page1 in guest community is mapped to page1.host.com and page2 to page2.host.com ? I read that a user cannot belong to two organisation and/or locations. Find out if its true. Can i have different versions of say logo, terms & conditions pages and etc which can be mapped to different domains(community) that we will have in the portal?

I've one more query its not related to your project. I wanted to know if CMS can be configured to store metadata information, its something like content is stored in LMS(learning management system), particularly SCROM conformant course materials have metadata which aids in easy loading, searching and porting between LMSs Can something like that can be achieved in the liferay CMS? Is LAR file imports/exports in liferay in any way similar to this. Basically i want to avoid using LMS along with liferay and load the courses (called SCO-sharable content objects) into liferay CMS.

Find out if you can. Its not really that important.

First login process

How can i add extra form or any page to be displayed when user logs in for the first time? It should be only during first login not on further logins.
