I don't know about multiple builds but remote build is definitely needed. I have a friend to whome I would like to build an LFS system. She is a real newbie and don't know much. Now the situation is that I can't go to girl's dorms :P. And I hate to do a line by line install on ssh. I would definitely like to have a remote build. Yeah, there are many more alternatives.
