Comment:

 In the past, I've used a custom wp-config.php to do something similar.
 There may be some webserver configuration issues.

 wp-config.php
 {{{
 <?php
 define('DB_USER', 'username');
 define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
 define('DB_HOST', 'host');

 define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
 define ('WPLANG', '');

 if ( 0 === strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'one.example.com') ) :
         define('DB_NAME', 'one');
         $table_prefix  = 'wp_';
         define('CACHE_PATH', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/cache1/');
 elseif ( 0 === strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'one-more.example.com') ) :
         define('DB_NAME', 'one');
         $table_prefix  = 'wp_more_';
         define('CACHE_PATH', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/cache1more/');
 elseif ( 0 === strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'two.example.com') ) :
         define('DB_NAME', 'two');
         $table_prefix  = 'wp_';
         define('CACHE_PATH', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/cache2/');
 else :
         define('DB_NAME', 'main');
         $table_prefix  = 'wp_';
 endif;

 require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
 ?>
 }}}
 You can also define the cookie and custom table constants where
 appropriate.  I think there may have been a couple other caveats such as
 making sure the upload directories were distinct.

 Then have a web root dir {{{one}}}
 {{{
 .htaccess
 index.php
 wordpress@ -> /wherever/wordpress/
 }}}

 with an index.php
 {{{
 <?php
 /* Short and sweet */
 define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
 require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
 ?>
 }}}

 /wherever/wordpress/ contains a standard WP install with that custom wp-
 config.php.

 Set !WordPress URL = "!http://one.example.com/wordpress"

 Set Blog URL = "!http://one.example.com"

 No core mods necessary.

 But, since WP isn't really designed with this in mind, I'm going to close
 the ticket.
