This will be because there will only be one "well-known" port, and you
can't have two servers listening to the same port.
i have a question here. how important is it to be able to run multiple
copies of afpd on the same machine? you can "export" multiple volumes
w/ just one running copy of afpd and none of the hassle.
1) Acquire a second IP number (by way of a virtual interface) and
persuade the two afpd to run on different interfaces.
2) Hack afpd to allow multiple virtual servers from the one afpd.
(Sort-of like a papd.conf file for afpd.)
The second is the correct solution.
fyi, you can currently run a second copy of afpd if you choose another
name, don't mind it not running afp/tcp, and specify a different lock
file (this is the big change from 1.4b2). needless to say, unless you
specify different AppleVolumes.*, it's not going to be much use
besides providing yet another nbp entry for the same service.
i can stick in yet another option which allows you to specify an
alternative port. the nbp entry will automatically redirect people to
that port. i guess that's actually a 3rd option and simple enough to
do. can people live w/ having to something like the following?
afpd
afpd -P /var/lock/server2.lock -f server2.default -s \
server2.system -n server2 -S <IP Port>
-a
