create multi site using job aggregator approach
<p>In developers perpective, i have 5 job sites in philippines (but will grow in the future). now, i want to have a centralized dashboard (MAIN SITE) that contains all the job sites to easily organized the data.</p>

<p>I have 2 options here:</p>

<ol>
<li>I would create a centralized database for all the jobs sites. Create an API.</li>
<li>Using the job aggregator approach (not sure yet), wherein the MAIN SITE will provide an XML/RSS feed and the 5 job sites where pull that feed with time interval.</li>
</ol>

<p>The Advantage and Disadvantage</p>

<p>Option #1 :
Advantage: Easy to manage for the DB admin. One database to backup.
Disadvantage: Single point of failure. If the MAIN SITE is hacked, all other job sites are disabled as well</p>

<p>Option #2 :
Advantage: Every site is independent to the MAIN SITE. If the MAIN SITE fails, can still stand on its own.
Disadvantage: Need to manage every site.</p>

<p>Am I going the right direction? Which options would you prefer? Please advised. If you have suggestions, feel FREE to comment! I would appreacite it. TIA ;-)</p>
