Multiple instances will also allow the same list name in different
domains and is the recommended way to do this with Mailman 2.1.

Also note that you can also set an installation/instance global list
creator password to allow people to create lists without giving them
the keys to the kingdom.

Yes, MM 3 supports lists with the same name in different domains. There
are at least two approaches to patching Mailman 2.1 to do this:
<https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/vhost> and
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558126>, but as I said above,
the recommended way is multiple Mailman instances.
