Hiding Core System Folders in root of server instead of www folder?????

Hi All,

On one of my sites I have three separate URL's all with the same DNN that share a single Ci_System folder.

I set the index.php to recognise the URL and jump to the relevant folder. I should imagine the same thing could be achieved by using a .htaccess file?

index.php
Code:
switch ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) {
      case 'localhost'          :
                                  $application_folder = 'system/application'; // ncgecom      
                                  $application_folder = "plaroma-web-vhost";
                                  $application_folder = 'ci_fred';
                                  $application_folder = 'ci_jokes';      
                                  $application_folder = 'ci_betsprint';        
                                  $application_folder = 'ci_rentaroofbox';    
                                  break;
      case 'anetizer.com'       :
      case 'www.anetizer.com'   : $application_folder    = 'ci_jokes';
                                  break;
      case 'betsprint.com'      :
      case 'www.betsprint.com'  : $application_folder    = 'ci_betsprint';
                                  break;
      case 'justjoolz.com'      :
      case 'www.justjoolz.com'  : $application_folder    = 'ci_jokes';
                                  break;
      case 'johns-jokes.com'    :
      case 'www.johns-jokes.com': $application_folder    = 'ci_jokes';         break;
                                  break;
      default                   : // $application_folder = 'ci_rentaroofbox';  break;
  } // end switch

This setup allows having a single set of files that work both for localhost and online. (Similar switch statement for the database.php configuarion).

Currently on my localhost I have to manually select the correct switch statement in the index.php file...

...BUT I have just been introduced to subdomains. I have still not come to terms with the best way of handling numerous sites using this setup - any advice?

Cheers,

John_Betong
