Are you planning on running a handle-server on this second instance? If not, just use any number for your prefix. That's what we do since we can't run a handle server since our DSpace instances are not publicly available. Sue

Now we'd like to set up a second DSpace instance instance but avoid having to pay yearly fees for another subprefix (12345.1). I consider having handles in form http://hdl.handle.net/12345/xyz6789, where the static xyz part would determine our second instance and I don't see a problem on the handle side, but my question is: does DSpace support this? Is DSpace able to generate such handles? Will I be able to correctly resolve them? With one handle server for each DSpace instance or a common one? Thanks in advance for an explanation.
