- The "main" domain is {domain 1}.com
- The "parked" domains include {domain 2}.com, {domain 3}.com, {domain 4}.com, etc.
Here is how I was thinking of setting up the site for a combination of simplicity, expansion and Natural Search optimization:
- All site URL's are in a directory type format: www.{domain 2}.com/entertainment/sports/
- Because {domain 2}.com is parked, the DNS is actually looking up the content at:
www.{domain 1}.com/entertainment/sports/
- I use Apache ModRewrite to pull all content from index.php:
www.{domain 1}.com/index.php?category=entertainment&subcategory=sports
- I use a php function in index.php to extract "{domain 2}" for the location
- All content on the page is dynamically built based on the area code, category, and subcategory information
So - after that explanation, here is what I am looking for:
1) Does this sound like a decent strategy to generating highly dynamic DB driven content across hundreds of domains? Any inherent problems with this strategy?
2) Are there alternate setups that are simple to implement (I am a newbie managing my own server) as this type of setup that offer better Natural Search performance?
Thanks in advance for your response!

Where it says: - I use a php function in index.php to extract "{domain 2}" for the location
I actually meant I use a php function in index.php to extract area code from "{domain 2}" (all domains have the area code embedded in them plus some text) for the location.
