Dear monks,

I am looking for a solution of - what I think is quite typical issue - but I was not successfull so far.

I am building a Catalyst application (say MyCatApp), with couple of web interfaces for different kind of users.

The interfaces should be accessible via subdomains:

All interfaces will be powered by a single Apache server.

What approach to choose?

Separate applications

Three different applications (MyCatApp::Public, MyCatApp::Provider, MyCatApp::Admin) sharing model (and probably some templates) with unique set of controllers (MyCatApp::Public::Controller::Deal, ... ).

This approach involves more code and inheritance and disallow (internal) calls between controllers from different interfaces.

On the other hand I can imagine the deployment where each application serves as handler for one virtual host in Apache config.

One application

One application with each interface having its controller namespace (MyCatApp::Controller::Public::Deal, MyCatApp::Controller::Provider::Order, ...). I think less modules, less namespaces involved, probably more comfortable coding.

But I am not sure about deployment, also about Catalyst URI to internal paths and vice versa resolution. Should I have again three virtual hosts but handled by the same application? How should I achieve that: 

http://provider.mycatapp.xyz/order is resolved to /provider/order
http://provider.mycatapp.xyz/deal  is rejected

# and vice versa
$c->uri_for('/provider/order') 
# yields http://provider.mycatapp.xyz/order

What approach would you choose? Thank you very much for any recommendation.
