What I was trying to do:
www.example.com/ - site A
www.example.com/foo - site B
Assume that $docroot is /var/www/html, where site A lives
If I symlink $docroot/foo to $docroot, then site A and site B mostly work.
However, once I enable clean URLs, site B becomes inaccessible. The
common .htaccess file was directing all paths to site A, even if the URL
didn't properly make sense (eg, foo/admin/settings). That still gave me the
settings page for site A.
I never did figure out how to make it work, or even if it's possible. I'm
just listing it as another scenario that should either be figured out and
documented or documented as "don't waste time, this won't work". :-)
