Yes, but that doesn't mean that you can use the same "test" twice and get 
separate pages. If you just wanted to test SMTP on 8025, then smtp:8025 would 
be for you.

In our case, we want to be able to separately monitor different SMTP services 
(e.g. report on their availability separately) and so we have duplicate 
definitions in bb-services (yes, the box testing our SMTP services is running 
4.2.x).
