Make 3 sites look like one

    Hello, without using sub domains or iframes, what is a good way to make 3 instances of a blog software (liek blog engine dot net), functionally look and feel like one single site - all accessible from a single domain?

    Thanks!

    Use the RSS feeds to show on a single page.

    ok, so the issue is that i have a blog(blog engine dot net) usign DB provider and there is a ms sql table that holds the posts. I have 50k rows (that's 50k posts) in this posts table, and the blog app does not scale well and the site cannot load (caching & memory issues). I don't want to write any code, so I was hoping to find an inventive way that I could break the posts across 3 insances of the blog, bc it runs when there are less than 20k rows in the posts table, and have the 3 instances functionally look like one single instance (site) to the end user

    hope that is clear!

    I think you'd find it a whole lot easier to write a few lines of code and solve the memory issues (which are just sloppy sql query issues) rather than jump through hoops trying to cheat the system.

    no b/c it is not just simple sql query issues... it is above my head... it is a complex DAL

    i need to somehow add paging, but i have not found any good tutorials on paging in C# and asp.net other than for grids... i could write my own front end using query strings lik "www.whateversgdge.com?q=whatever you know, but I don't know how to integrate that approach with the URL rewriting that the blog software does

    I agree with sarahk. Fix the code to make it scalable. If it's over your head, outsource it. Shouldn't be that expensive to have it resolved once and for all. Just my opinion.
