Hi Bruce, Thanks, but that's not the case.
My web2py system is already a complete cloud SaaS server, with a single postgresql db, multi-tenancy, multi-apps, single-sign-on, etc. And one potential customer (tenant), who will use all the other apps in the cloud, requires this new scenario/app where my system handles web services requests from an external non-web2py system (named CLIENT) and collects the respective data from another external non-web2py system (named SERVER), therefore acting as a middle-server (or so). All 3 systems (my own cloud SaaS SYS, and CLIENT, and SERVER) are completely independent (with no relation whatsoever).
