Just to give you a quick reply - check to see if "exporter" is different 
on your different feeds. Then you could have them all export to the same 
flow-capture, but segregate on "exporter".

You can see the exporter IP address: flow-stat -f27 < 
ft-v05.2013-07-02.121500+0000

See http://ensight.eos.nasa.gov/FlowViewer/faq.html#26 for help.

Please let me know of any questions or problems ....
