Cool. For the reseller sites, I would recommend just using the same
catalog (as the vertical), but use the "affiliates" functionality of
interchange (read up on it in the docs/list). Unless you need a radically
different visual interface for the resellers, it would work great for
that. You can have all the reseller pricing done that way, without the
need for a seperate catalog.

Using DBM for the cat and MySQL for the products should work better than
what I was telling you earlier (just use your selector= field). Make sure
you go over dbconf/mysql/*.mysql files really well in each catalog.
