Yes, that is a limitation of Roller's built-in Planet, there is only
one Planet instance.

It would be nicer if each blog had it's own Planet, but that's a RFE
for another day.

A work-around would be to create a Planet Group for each blog. The
main problem with this approach is  that the subscriptions in the
groups will have to be maintained by Global Admin(s) of the site and
not the individual bloggers.
