Yes, absolutely. The idea is that you can create a single WebStatus instance
and attach an arbitrary set of status display pages onto it however you like,
at whatever URLs you prefer. The API would be the
parent.putChild(url_component, resource) scheme described in the proposed
documentation, rather than absolute URLs, but the idea is pretty similar. (or
maybe it should take a full URL instead of making you build up the
components? any thoughts on which would be easier to configure? I think the
putChild() approach is easier to implement, but a
webstatus.addResource("foo/bar/mydisplay", DisplayThing()) approach probably
isn't impossible to write).

If you really wanted to have multiple web servers, you could have multiple
WebStatus instances, but nothing would require you to do that.
