I am using ASP.NET MVC to develop an application framework. Essentially, the end goal is to be able to log into an admin interface, create a new tenant with custom settings, enable the modules they want (blog, shopping basket, etc)... job done - satisfied customer with new website. I'm not using separate applications because there will be a lot of shared code and it would be easier to maintain this way, and also because it would be pretty easy to bring a new, identical node online at peak times.
Depending on what modules are loaded for the tenant, different routes are applicable for each tenant. As I see it, there are three options:
Have all tenants share the same route collection - however if there are a lot of modules it'll be searching through a lot of routes it doesn't need to, and some modules may well have conflicting routes.
Add the necessary routes for each tenant to the global route collection and extend the route class to look at the domain as well - but this could quickly end up with hundreds of routes as more tenants are added.
Work out what tenant is being accessed first and then only search their own private route collection - this would be ideal, but I've searched for hours and have absolutely no idea how to do it!
So can anyone point me in the correct direction for the third option or explain why either of the first two aren't really that bad?
