title: Multiple sites under the same hostName possible?
body: <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> This issue was caused by Aliases. See my answer below.</p>
  
  <p>I am attempting to implement a multi-site environment in Sitecore 6.5 that looks something like the following:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xpECd.jpg" alt="Sitecore tree"></p>
  
  <p>As you can see, there is a main site under the "Corporate" folder, and several sub-sites under the "Microsites" folder. The issue I am experiencing is that I need the sub-sites to exist within the same domain. For example:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>mysite.com/ (Main site)</li>
  <li>mysite.com/subsite (Subsite 1)</li>
  <li>mysite.com/subsite2 (Subsite 2)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So far, here is how I have it configured in my sites collection: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;sites&gt;
      ...
      &lt;site name="subsite" hostName="mysite.com" virtualFolder="/subsite" physicalFolder="/subsite" rootPath="/sitecore/content/microsites/subsite" startItem="/home" ...
      &lt;site name="subsite2" hostName="mysite.com" virtualFolder="/subsite2" physicalFolder="/subsite2" rootPath="/sitecore/content/microsites/subsite2" startItem="/home" ...
      &lt;site name="website" hostName="mysite.com" virtualFolder="/" physicalFolder="/" rootPath="/sitecore/content/corporate/" startItem="/home" ...
      ...
  &lt;/sites&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For the most part, Sitecore is able to successfully deliver me to the sub-sites based on the virtualFolder path alone. However, the issue I am experiencing is that if I have an item with the same name in my subsite as I do in the main corporate site, Sitecore will always attempt to load the Item from the main corporate site.</p>
  
  <p>For instance, say I have an item called <strong>About</strong> that exists as a child of the main site as well as in one of my sub-sites. By navigating to <strong>mysite.com/subsite/about</strong>, the URL will remain the same, however, Sitecore will serve up the About page from the main site. If the item is called <strong>AboutUs</strong> in the subsite's tree, everything works great. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how to work around this issue?</p>
