 * Just did a new multisite install v. 3.2.1 and when I go to one of my subdomains
   from the network/all sites/dashboard, I do not have the domain mapping option
   under tools. I only see import and export. Everything seems to be working ok 
   so far in the network admin. How do I get this menu to map each subdomain?

 * OK, making some progress here. I added a brand new subdomain, in which I can 
   now see the tools, domain mapping menu option. The other 5 subdomains I have 
   were single wordpress installs that I moved into multisite. I have not deleted
   those single installs, as Hostgator noted I should leave them alone unless there
   is a space issue later. I believe these 5 subdomains are mapped correctly, as
   I have can see the correct mapping in the network/all sites screen. I guess all
   is working ok. My only concern is the 5 installs, what will happen if I delete
   those single installs.

 * You can’t map the primary domain, just the subdomains.

 * Uh. Yes, you SHOULD get rid of them. If the PSYCHICAL subdomains still exist 
   then your webserver will use those instead of the same-named virtual ones. Either
   remove them (backing them up first obviously) or rename them. Also, if you had
   manually mapped those subdomains, you need to remove that mapping.
