Hmm, not sure how that would work.  At the very least, you'd have to make
each instance use a separate socket (maybe with the agentnum appended or
something): 

in fs_signup/FS-SignupClient/fs_signupd:
  my($fs_signupd_socket)="/usr/local/freeside/fs_signupd_socket";

and fs_signup/FS-SignupClient/SignupClient.pm
  $fs_signupd_socket = "/usr/local/freeside/fs_signupd_socket";

I suspect a more scalable solution would use a single socket and
instance of fs_signup_server/fs_signupd/signup.cgi, and pass the agent 
number in as a hidden parameter, like the referring_custnum.

Patches appriciated, of course.  Good luck.
