Re: Best practices in case of multiple portal entities

In answer to the first part of your question, would suggest you take a look
at the article by Mindsharp called "Best Practices for Designing and
Deploying a SharePoint Portal." It's under Premium Content at
www.mindsharp.com. It's free, but you do have to register with the site to
view it. It deals specifically with the decision to use one or multiple
portals, among other lots of other very useful topics.

Give this a try re: your second question:
