Hi folks, I've been reading through a lot of the material here on the forum and haven't found this specifically, so if someone out there can clarify this for me I'd appreciate it tremendously.
I'm hoping to build a large content portal with a single install of WPMU that has the following structure.
maindomain.com
-- channel-1.maindomain.com
---- channel-1.maindomain.com/blog-1
---- channel-1.maindomain.com/blog-2
---- channel-1.maindomain.com/blog-3
-- channel-2.maindomain.com
---- channel-2.maindomain.com/blog-1
---- channel-2.maindomain.com/blog-2
---- channel-2.maindomain.com/blog-3
-- channel-3.maindomain.com
---- channel-3.maindomain.com/blog-1
---- channel-3.maindomain.com/blog-2
---- channel-3.maindomain.com/blog-3
The main domain would feature general site info and a few featured post snippets.
Each subdomain (channel) page would be similar to the main domain but would aggregate material from the individual blogs.
Then, each individual blog (blog-1, blog-2) within each channel would be just that, an individual blog where a blogger writes posts and content.
My hosting consists of a semi-dedicated server running Apache, Plesk 8.1 and I have root access and access to the DNS zone area.
Given the info above, can my desired site structure work with a single standard install of WPMU, or will I need to do a separate install for each channel?

P.S. I can muck my way through intermediate customizations, but if the above requires advanced tweaking or knowledge I'd be more than willing to hire someone for a modest fee to get this set up.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or expertise you may be able to offer.
