Stef, you could do it with different ports, I think, but 1984 is so
ingrained that you may have problems getting client and server straight in
both environments.  IIRC, you're a pretty capable Linux admin.  The way
I'd go at is would be with subinterfaces on different ip addresses
(eth0:1, eth0:2), then you just have to point each client at its correct
server address.  You'll also need to set up each ip as an Apache virtual
host in httpd.conf and probably need to dig into the hobbit server
configuration to get the two hobbit instances to put their respective rrd
files in different places.

Off the top of my head on a rainy Friday afternoon.  I may be full of it
again.
