Just the fact that we mix customers in a virtual environment creates a similar risk. We aren't able to offer a dedicated host for every customer who wants a virtual environment, that would defeat the purpose of virtualization.

Maybe I missed part of the earlier discussion, and I'm always ready to look at other ways of approaching the problem. Other than dedicated hosts for each customer, what would you suggest a basic design be to provide what you are describing?

There are other ways of hosting internet-exposed sites, and I believe
you are doing your customers a disservice by mixing domains in this
fashion, which (IMHO) exposes them to unnecessary risk.
