New issue 1660 by [email protected]: Remote: support multiple remote library instances
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1660

When using remote libraries, sometimes there is a need to have the same library running on multiple hosts. Ideally a user keyword that executes a remote keyword should be able to ignore the particular instance being used. If Remote supported multiple instances and had a way to switch between them (as Switch Browser in Selenium2Library or Switch Connection in SSHLibrary), the user keywords would not need to "know" which instance to communicate with. As a workaround, I created a proof of concept library[1] that encapsulates Remote and adds these to keywords: Switch Remote Library and Add Remote Library.

From the activity on the user group, I believe adding similar keywords to Remote would be beneficial for everyone, although there is some risk of BWIC due to name collision.
