>> 
>> How I handle this is by having two clients in the same realm. This works fine if you are happy with the same backend login theme to be there for the consumer facing frontend. But we cannot do that as the front end is a consumer facing SaaS site, so each front end needs to have the client's website theme. This becomes very hard to do if we don't have theming at a client level.
