In theory yes but I don't think anybody has written the glue to do
that.

BTW, when I say multiple masters, I mean masters sharing slave nodes,
not two master nodes that can see each other's processes.  A slave
node can run as many copies of the slave daemon as it wants.  The
processes belonging to one master won't be able to interact with the
processes belonging to another master.

Cooking up a beoboot-like boot image to do something like this is more
tricky than it sounds.
