Possible to have Two NON-Connected Sites?

Is it possible to have one pro Smugmug account function as two sites? For example- can I get part of my site to operate as a wedding/portrait print sale type site under one domain name- and another section that is more along the line of artistic fine print sales which operates seperately and under a different domain name? I would like to have them set up so they are completely isolated from each other and with different names but don't really want to pay for two 'unlimited' Smugmug acccounts. Thoughts?
Thanks!

    I actually want the same thing. However I am going to just setup a seperate hosting and have pretty flash sites (not much storage needed), then allow that to dig back to my smugmug for gallery usage.

    I think smugmug is ok, but even with the customizations that happen, I see the real good ones use external hosting to tie everything together.

    Yes, but not the part about two different domain names.

    I would second this approach.

    You're the same business, so it won't matter that the money comes from the same place or is processed in the same company name, right?

    You can have a front end hosted elsewhere and the back end of galleries, sales, etc handled by SM. It can be pretty seamless. I've been using something like this for years, but only with one site. I could easily add a second or even third or fourth site this way.

    Could you please explain how you see two sites operating under the one smugmug account?
