Multiple domains using Syncthing, do I need several Jails or separate installs of Syncthing?

So, this is a POC of Freenas and Syncthing to sync documents to the Freenas from multiple domains. I would like to keep the domains separated in a way that they can't traverse from one to another. So from an architectural standpoint, is it best to....

a) set up multiple Jails on Freenas
b) set up multiple instances of Syncthing
c) both?

TIA

FreeNAS can't be joined to multiple AD domains at the same time. You may also want to verify that syncthing will actually copy _all_ the metadata types in Windows. Most file-based backup solutions I've looked at strip metadata (for instance alternate datastreams). Some of this stuff is important. You don't want to corrupt files from multiple domains at once.
