Has anyone actually tried this?
I have.
I started mucking around with it today but I don't believe it is as easy as it sounds. The original directory "/opt/hobbit/server" seems to be hardcoded into lots and lots of files, including compiled into binaries. I don't see how cloning the hobbit home directory would give you a reliable configuration.
The settings you do at compile-time are built into the binaries, but they should all be configurable via the hobbitserver.cfg settings.
But doing a re-compile/re-install to a different Hobbit home directory is probably the easiest. You must also run the two with different user-ID's, to avoid getting the shared-memory segments and semaphores from the two Hobbit servers mixed up.
And since they'll conflict over port 1984, either use a different port number for one of them, or a different IP-address.
