[hobbit] 2 hobbit servers on the same hardware

[Phil Wild]

Actually, this is where I started....

But it seems such a shame to tie up a fixed amount of memory, disk etc and
have the extra burden of another copy of OS as well as the bridged network
etc just to run another instance of an application.

Unix is a wonderful OS and is so good at scaling I just don't see this as a
good use of virtualisation (IMHO)

I have gone down the path of recompiling for the second install. There were
only about seven entries in the Makefile to modify from memory (not
including the port number)

Cheers

Phil
