nsd users - Aug 2004 - multiple instances of NSD

I'm trying to set up a machine which will be running multiple instances
of NSD to serve different sets of zones from different interfaces.  What
I'm running into is that I can't specify different PID files to refer to
on the command line.

Are there any shortcuts or do I need to go write a patch?

Any other implications of multiple instances?

The pidfile should be an option, but currently isn't.  A patch would be 
welcome.  The nsdc script should also be patched.  You can also write a 
bug report and we'll work on a patch.

Not that I'm aware of.
