3)  Physical location for the IIS sites: Is it generally accepted to put the physical location home directory of the IIS sites to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myDog, myCat, etc or should I create a folder under c:\data\sites\myDog, myCat. My preference is c:\data\sites as everything I have done is under c:\data.

4) Virtual directory: This is still puzzling me a bit. For each site I define in IIS, do I simply create a virtual directory pointing to its respective c:\data\apps\dotnetnuke\shop or c:\data\apps\dotnetnuke\info folder? If so, how do I set the "Home Directory" do I do not use myDog/dotnetnuke?

For both of these, forget the options you posted.  Physical location of the IIS site is the same folder as your DNN installs.  Two sites in IIS, preferably on separate IP addresses.  Then in DNN, create parent portals for each "website."  Each DNN install is a web site, each of your individual store or info sites is just a portal in DNN.  DNS entires will all point to the same IP for each type of sites, all store entries to the store DNN installation and the others to the info install.  DNN will handle the portal alias getting directed to the proper portal for the URL entered.

When I tried to click "Accept Answer" for Jeff's post, I get "A critical error has occured. Convesion from type 'Object' to type 'Integer' is not valid". Anyone know where to report such issues?
