I am may be naïve in my understanding of configuring dnn with multiple sites/portals, but the way I have done it uses 1 dnn instance with only 1 apppool as I do not see how to use multiple apppools. of course the disadvantage is that I have all of my eggs in one basket so to speak.

is it possible to host multiple sites/portals on 1 instance of dnn yet have an apppool for each site? I would think I would need multiple webapps, maybe I am overlooking something. if I have multiple iis webapps, then I would have multiple dnn instances - yes?
