[TowerTalk] Cable Glands

I have recently been exposed to several weatherproof enclosures using 
cable glands.  On the face of it, these devices seem to be a significant 
improvement over traditional ham radio weatherproofing techniques, which 
often rely on electrical tape or RTV for sealing.  I'm wondering, 
though, if a single gland can be used with more than one wire.  I have 
one situation where I want to bring a single wire and a small coaxial 
cable through one, and am a little skeptical about the integrity of the 
seal when this is done.
