Hi Bert,

	I don’t think I get what are you trying to do in the way you talk about.

	Maybe you just need:

	1. A seaside application whith Magma ODB reachability
	2. Another image in another host (or even same host) with reachability
to the same ODB

	???

	If so you only need to setup a magma server in one of those images and
in both you can use magma clients (by using MagmaSession) to access the same
ODB.

	For sharing efficiently you can use (in both images) a pool of magma
sessions. You can see an example of it in Gjallar sources
(http://www.gjallar.se/)

	cheers,

Sebastian Sastre
