	Yes.  There are a number of options that you will need to
	set to avoid conflicts with each other.  I'd recommend
	leaving one server on the defaults and just changing one.

	If you look at options and controls it should be pretty
	obvious which ones need to be changed, i.e. absolute paths.

	No.

	You tell it which named to talk to.
