I have a customer that needs to have civi work from their main website and an alumni website. I am wondering what the best option is to do this.
1. One idea I have is to use a multisite plugin in joomla and add a site in the civi config file to allow multiple domains.
2. The other would be to set up the secondary site as just another language on the joomla install and redirect the alumnisite.com to mainsite.com/alumni/ setting up the entire alumni page as another language in joomla pointing all the modules and articles to this language.

What is everyones thoughts? Has anybody tried this? On the redirect to mainsite.com/alumni/ would I have to set up another site in the civicrm config file for this?

i think what you're looking to do is reference a common civicrm database from two different sites. that would not be a multi-site model. multisite structures either use a common codebase with multiple dbs, or use a common codebase and db, but in the db, the records are segmented by domain id (i.e. the multiple sites)

in your case, i think you're looking to use a single db with two different domains/sites.
you may be able to do that by simply altering the db references in the civicrm.settings.php file. part of it will depend on whether your two sites are hosted on different environments. if they're in the same file system, the above may be sufficient.
but you'd need to do a lot of testing.
