Another early morning rollout, eh? :) Those are some really great looking sites. Great job to all involved. Ellington looks like it's the perfect product for this industry.

As far as the separate domains are concerned... You could probably just set up a subdomain and have it proxy requests through to a specific directory under the main Ellington install so you'd retain a single admin backend. I'd do that kind of magic using Apache's mod_proxy, but you could also set it up on your load balancers.

Although personally, I think the something.newspaper.com is a tired concept and a usability annoyance -- one typo, and the user gets nowhere. The trusty newspaper.com/greatsection is my preference, as you can do some magic to correct typos and get the user to the content.
