new site. 3 CMS's with shared content?

So I have a site, that I need 3 sub sites for. When a user goes to sub.domain.com, they see that content, menu, etc. and so on.

I am very versed in CMSms, and have about 60 sites running it.

Here is my question.

What is the best way to set up 3 unique sites (on the visitors end), yet maintain dynamic menus, and share some content (like about us, and contact pages?


My original plan was just to build 3 separate CMSms sites. and have my cleint deal with duplicating the generic content. Any work arounds for that?


thanks!

well, if there is a single (or small group of) administrators for all sites then maybe mod_rewrite and the mini-site solution would work.

i agree. But how would I dynamically populate the menus of each sub site?  I currently use a CSS drop down menu for many sites. And planned on the same here, and i need the client to be able to add in and update pages that effect the navigation. a mod-rewrite would void that feature correct?
