Heheh.. Yes, I confirm that. (:

Thanks, that's good.

There is no problem to have two instances running, though it might be 
more admin-friendly to allow the listen addresses to be supplied on the 
command-line, since it would save maintaining a second config file (and 
I imagine this would be easier for you than changing the socket code), 
but this is quite a low priority I think.
