I have setup multiple public site in single umbraco installtion for each provider in my admin system( a seperate non umbraco system) but stuck at one point . Following is my content structure.
Content
- Provider1Root
--Home(www.domain1.com)
---All Content Pages
- Provider2Root
--Home(www.domain2.com)
--- All Content Pages
Please note that I have added host name at Home node beneath Provider1Root/Provider2Root. Upon doing this I realized when I request www.domain2.com it shows content of www.domain1.com, I have gone through couple of forums and noted that domain names should be added to the root of the site node else it does not locate node urls properly. I can not add domain names at Provider1Root/Provider2Root as these nodes contains some configuration which I am using to pull provider specific(ie. provider id) info from Admin System via macro and that is not supposed to be used by my clients who are mere content editors.
Please point me to right direction so that domains specific contents are resolved properly. I am open to change my approach if I can achieve what I want. I have made sure to republish all nodes upon adding domain entries.
Just add the hostnames to the provider nodes and make your site editors "Start Node in Content" the home node, they don't get to see the provider nodes then.
Yes I can do that but the problem is Provider node does not contain any template they are being used to store configuration so if I add hostname to the provider node the landing page to the site, www.domain1/2.com, would be displayed blank.
That worked like a charm :) I loved umbracoInternalRedirectId default property however onething I would like to confirm is now my home page has two urls www.domain1.com and www.domain1.com/home.aspx I don't know how good this is from SEO perspective.!!
Incorrect content displayed when domains are not added to the root nodes
Hello Umbraco experts,

Waiting for your reply.

Appreciate your quick reply Sebastiaan.
Aah, in that case just create a redirect property on your root nodes (the provider nodes) that points to the homepage of the site.
Also, make sure to set "umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath" to "true" in your web.config to have the same URL's that you had.

Thanks a lot for the lovely tip.
