https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/v4.6/tds/reference/Services.html#tdsServiceElemRequirements indicates that THREDDS catalog service elements' base attribute is only relative to the server head. However, absolute, remote bases do work. For instance:

<service name="wcs" serviceType="WCS" base="/thredds/wcs/"/>
<service name="wms" serviceType="WMS" base="https://otherhost.domain.org/thredds/wms/"/>
<service name="iso" serviceType="ISO" base="https://samehost.domain.org:7002/thredds/iso/"/>
<service name="ncml" serviceType="NCML" base="/thredds/ncml/"/>
<service name="uddc" serviceType="UDDC" base="/thredds/uddc/"/>

Could pass the ISO service off on a docker container running on the same host, and the WMS service off onto a different machine.

Documenting this could help folks if they want to separate loads across servers for different services, or experiment with other code or versions running on the same data.
