I'm not sure about the need to have multiple directories for Aolserver instances. After all, we're not using nsadmin as the user that owns the Aolserver instances any more, right? We're a separate user for each instance, and having them in the web group. That seems better, security-wise.

/var/www seems good to me. Especially if it's what Apache is using. That will also make it easier for Apache users to get used to Aolserver.

By Aolserver instance do you mean OpenACS instance? If you have, say, two services on one machine, then I envision: 

/usr/local/aolserver with binaries, nothing service-specific, basically read-only

/home/service0 with ssh certs and emacs files and such for the people who connect to the machine to work or administer on service0
/var/www/service0 with all the files to make service0 work

then
/home/service1
/var/www/service1
etc.
the service0 user wouldn't be able to affect the service1 user.
