Ok. For now i need a working solution rather quick, so it seems i have 
to go for the 3 seperate cocoon instances.
I have a feeling this might cause trouble, so maybe I will move this to 
the dev-list later.
I just hoped that this feature would have already been implemented when 
i read this:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/forrest-dev/200508.mbox/%3C42EF99C6.4000106@peppersauce.org%3E
And i still think it would be a valueable feature.

Thank you very much for your help.

best regards
