you can use the same database.php. In this one you could define
different database ie : 'client1', 'client2' etc config ..In your
index.php you could define a value set to the spotted DB (ie :
define('CLIENTDB', 'client1'); and at the end in your models you could
set :
var $useDbConfig = CLIENTDB;
that will point your models to the desired DB.
Hope this helps
