[Seaside] Seaside hosting questions - multiple sites, uploading squeak images and cgi

[Derek Brans]

Thanks for your replies, Avi.

I'm imagining the possibility of offering Seaside hosting to the Seaside 
community on one server.
Another scenario is having different virtual domains on one server, each 
domain a seaside-driven site administered by me.

Could the latter could be accomplished with one image?
