wine users - Jul 2009 - How to run mulitple instances of app, each for unique IP?

I have a windows application that can listens on an IP address for batch data to
process.   The application works under WINE.  The application does not take
advantage of multiple cores of the CPU.  I want to configure the Linux PC to
listen on four IP addresses (which I know how to do), and then run an instance
of the wine app for each IP address.   In this way, I can take full advantage of
a quad-core CPU.

Does anyone have suggestions/pointers on how to proceed?

Thanks!

Use separate WINEPREFIX's.

Wouldn't this be a question for the application's support and not
wine? I mean usually an application will have some configuration on
what ip address it listens to not the os controlling what ip address.

When I start the application up under wine, it pulls the IP address it listens
on automatically from somewhere.  When I first tried it, it pulled up a
127.1.0.1 type address, since this is what was in my /etc/hosts file for my
hostname.  Which I changed the hosts file so that the hostname was associated
with the network IP 192.168.1.x, the application pulled this new IP address up.
