Need to host one Umbraco Installation across multiple locations
Hello.
We are going to be building a large corporate website for a multinational company. It's going to consist of a large central batch of content in a main Umbraco database, which will be available for 'a-la-carte' use by a set of region-specific pages, by picking and choosing items via the Umbraco backoffice. One of the central project requirements is that these region-specific pages are hosted locally to their region (no way around this, it's a core requirement), each with their own domain name.
I'm only concerned with the frontend, and that these regional sections look like normal local sites from a user/search engine perspective. How can we set up a single Umbraco installation which includes sections that have their front-end hosted in different locations from the server on which Umbraco is installed?
Just to throw a couple thoughts out there:
Could we set up some sort of public-facing proxy server which requests the content from the main server and serves it to the user via the local intermediary server? Could this be made to look like a normal site from a user and search engine perspective?
I think we could set up some sort of bare-bones Umbraco installation at each location, that the main Umbraco installation somehow 'pushes' content to. My big concern here would be having keep multiple Umbraco installations up-to-date and on the same version, though, which would be very difficult for us.
Maybe there is some sort of system that will handle this for us automatically, like the ones used for load-balancing large sites?
Any thoughts, suggestions, or relevant links would be greatly appreciated.
