Hi,

that could be one option as well, not completely ruled out. But in some 
cases it is a bit too much overhead though. If there are multiple small 
organizations with only a handful of account and servers, setting up a 
dedicated HA instance for each one doesn't feel very cost effective as 
it would mean tens of those. Currently a single installation can't 
handle multiple realms, am I right?
