by this do you mean something like a webapp package installed with
different instances on a per-vhost basis, or are you talking more along
the lines of load balancing and HA/failover?
the former is something that's been discussed a few times before with
dbconfig-common, and there's currently an undocumented/hacky way to do
it, but the latter i think is a bit out of scope.
