Hello Folks,

I've just designed a site for a client with 11 domain names who wants me to put exact copies of his site on each of them. Plus he wants me to register all of them to the engines. The sites are on different IPs, but they are all similar, except for the last number. (he purchased a sequential block of IP's)So the sites have all these things in common:
IP address similarity, URL similarity, text matching, and the same link structure.

Now I'm very concerned, to say the least. My client insists that he wants all these in the search engines. Do ALL the search engines check for mirrors? What are the real consequences? Will the search engines just ignore mirrors, or will this cause
the domains to be banned? Must I redesign all 11 sites, and have him find new hosts?

Are there are less complicated solutions?

Any help, or more information on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Much Thanks in advance,
