I'm trying to get my multi-site/-tenant Drupal environment (Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.1, Drupal 7.14, Domain Access 7.x-3.4, etc.) configured.

Important to achieve would be

:: single code base;
:: single database;
:: both internal (LAN) as well as external (internet) sites (domains);
:: different theme for each site;
:: different users for each site;
:: different content for each site

(see attached PDF for an overview).

Would this be something I can accomplish be facilitating DA only?
Do I have to use different DB prefix for each site?
Do I have to create an individual directory under 'sites' for each domain?

1. Would this be something I can accomplish be facilitating DA only?

The attached diagram seems more like a traditional Drupal multisite installation. What kind of content sharing are you doing among the sites? If the answer is "none", then you want multisite, not DA.

2. Do I have to use different DB prefix for each site?

DA doesn't really divide users as suggested by the diagram. So you would have to prefix the user tables and have some custom logic to support that.

3. Do I have to create an individual directory under 'sites' for each domain?

Not if using DA.

There is another condition that you might want, which we've done in some cases, which is a separate multisite installation where DA runs on one or more of those site "clusters." But that doesn't sound like what you want.
