Ah, damn. Sure - how stupid.

The company I need this for has a number of customers that are
managed seperately but have an identical setup and service processes.
I want to avoid stuffing everything in a single RT and having to
manage 25 times 3 queues each and 25 times say 15 customer-users
each etc. But it seems I'll have to do that anyway....or get 25 machines
;-)
