Hi,
Correct me if I am wrong, but the BOA installation requires two domains (one can be a sub-domain of the other) to get a working system. One for Barracuda and then at least one satellite for Octopus. In this case, the first (Barracuda) domain is never actually used - only the satellite instance.
Is it possible to install a single domain that contains both Barracuda and Octopus - and still have the ability to update the platforms??
Any opinions welcome....

A short answer: No. A long
A short answer: No.
A long answer: they are separate Aegir Hostmaster sites/systems, so both require separate FQDN web address, preferably subdomain.
Useful to separate test and live sites
Since there is virtual chroot jail for every Octopus/Aegir instance (see Barracuda Master Installer), it looks like we can use it to protect our live sites from our experimental test sites. For example:
The hostname could be just example.com, or a subdomain.
Is that all right? I think I'm going to try it.
While it may sound
While it may sound interesting, it will cause problems with the dev/staging/prod workflow, because there is no sites migration between Octopus instances implemented (yet), while on the same Octopus instance you can easily migrate/replace the sites between platforms.
Separate Octopus instances are useful especially when you wish to open the access for more people/devs and you want to keep their sandboxes separate.
