remote servers

Hi Everyone,

I've been reading a lot about Aegir lately, and I find it just a great tool which would save so much administration time. However, I still can't find a clear answer as to whether Aegir can administer remote sites as well. I have 6 different shared hosting accounts on different hosting companies all Drupal based. Now, can I use Aegir to administer the sites on all these hosting accounts? I get a feeling from documentation that Aegir can only manage Drupal installations which are local.
