Personal/Family and Business/Consulting GALs as part of Office 365 deployment

I'm pleased to report to the community that our project is going successfully, and an exciting one it is. Specifically using Server Side Synchronization to integrate a Partner-hosted Dynamics CRM instance with Office 365-hosted Exchange. This means phone, desktop and online/web all have the same view of customer opportunities and projects.

Here the new question. And I think the answer is unfortunately "no" at the present time.

We have a GAL (global address list) for our consulting business. And one Exchange (integrated with Dynamics CRM) that will integrate all the contacts. So our "business world" is fine.

But also, on a separate domain, we have our family calendar, email etc. And so it's possible to schedule family and work events in multiple overlapping shared calendars. That works fine.

But it makes sense to have two separate GALs I think, for business and for family. I could tag contacts to distinguish them I suppose. But is it possible in Office 365 to set up two separate GALs, which would be attached to the two domains currently in use?

Thanks,

John
