Hi Kevin,
i didn't do this, but ez3 was designed to do a lot of this.
You can have multiple VHosts (or IPs, in your case) be handled by one single ezPublish installation (the files are there just once).
Then you will need to create at least two siteaccesses for each customer (one for "user", one for "admin").
I would suggest one unique MySQL DB per customer, which those two siteaccesses will use.
Then, you will probably need one "Design" per customer (or two, if you want to allow them to change the admin Design). "Design" will be assigned to the siteaccess, too and will take care of the Templates. This should get you going more or less.
Notes:
- I don't know, if anyone tried this yet
- I'm not sure, if/how you can permit the customers to change Designs, which are not theirs, especially the "Standard" Design, which is the fallback for everyone - Maybe it's even possible to use just one "big" MySQL, but i would not recommend this at all. See the documentation about "siteaccesses" to give you some more background info and let's hope, that someone already did, what you want to do (you wish is not so extraordinary ;) ) PS: Sorry, I'm using MySQL. Read "Postgres" ;)
