This is the essential bit I was missing, I think. I knew it was |
| 9 |
possible to set up "multi-homing" (as I'd seen it on other systems) but |
| 10 |
I'd forgotten what it was called... and that made searching for |
| 11 |
documentation, erm, hard... though even knowing the term hasn't given me |
| 12 |
a slam-dunk search result through google. I presume I need to fiddle |
| 13 |
with /etc/conf.d/net - somehow - in order to convince |
| 14 |
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 to do what I need. |

That's all helpful material - suggesting, at least, that there's no neat |
| 21 |
gentoo-specific one-liner to achieve the two instances I need... plus it |
| 22 |
highlights specific problems I might have with interactions between PHP |
| 23 |
in my two instances. Hmmm... I hadn't anticipated that... frustrating. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I guess the other route I could consider would be virtualisation - |
| 26 |
establishing a completely separate installation... at least that way I |
| 27 |
could be sure that no aspect of my 'alive' system could impact the |
| 28 |
configuation of my development system... allowing me maximum confidence |
| 29 |
that I know what's needed when I come to deploy. |

Somewhat frustratingly, this seems to be morphing into a considerably |
| 32 |
more involved problem than I'd envisaged. ;) |
