HI there

there is little performance issues if we have all modules at same installation. basically I have a site social, and i like to offer many facilities to users, but if i install many modules on same installation it impacts the performance, so i decided to user multisite,

for e.g.,

songs : songs.example.com
videos : videos.example.com
groups: groups.example.com
blogs: blogs.example.com

something like that.

I'm new to Drupal so forgive me if this is a noob question. I've set up Drupal 6 and the Services module and the REST Server and the Zend Framework. When I make a REST call, eg. http://mysite/services/rest?method=node.get&nid=1 I get a blank screen. However, if I change the method to node.delete, I get an xml succeess response. And I get an xml error message if I pass an unknown method name.

A REST Server is now available for the Services module, so that external REST clients can communicate with Drupal Services. In order to use the REST Server, you have to install the Zend Framework.

I've got a project where I am integrating Drupal with a third party service (a video upload/transcode/hosting provider, kind of a white-label YouTube: twistage.com)... when something updates at that service they want to ping my server @ a URL I designate with some simple key/value pairs, and I want to act on that ping.

Services seems like a perfect fit, except: a) XMLRPC and AMFPHP seem to be the only servers pre-written; and b) I haven't grokked the server part of the services equation to author what seems like a super-simple server - one that only responds to $_REQUEST variables.
