I'm working on a very similar setup here.

I'm quite new to OpenCms but the code I ended up with is similar to
yours. Unfortunately I didn't find much documentation about multi-sites
beside the included multi-site config howto.

I also ended up with a mix of /sites/default and /sites/siteb. I found
out, that the site-root changes somewhen (right after the use of a
<cms:editable/> tag) during template processing. Additional
setSiteRoot() calls in my template changed the result but still lead to
a broken page.

I'm using 6.2beta here with apache 1.3.34 and mod_rewrite. No difference
though :-(

Did somebody ever manage to successfully set up a multi-site
configuration with direct editing of pages enabled?
