I thought it might be out of my league.  We'll come up with another option.  
Thanks for your comments and suggestions. ~Shane

In short, it is not recommended but it is possible.  A better solution is to 
have 2 different computers, or if you are upgrading an application, just (after 
testing and backing up) upgrade to 4.x (for example, 3.2.11 > 4.0-7 > 4.1-5).

Here are some of the reasons/gotchas as to why it is not recommended. You need:

* different port numbers on each instance for the Admin Interface (8001 by 
default) and for xdqp (7999 by default)
* different data directories
* different MarkLogic installation directories
* different startup scripts
* you will have to do your own installation for the 2nd installation to change 
the above things
* upgrades will be problematic and manual
* all of the cache setting defaults assume that MarkLogic has access to the 
whole machine
* perhaps a few things that I have not thought of

I definitely recommend against trying this.

Quick question re: running two instances of MarkLogic on one host:

1) is it possible?
2) if so what are the big issues/gotchas if any?
3) if you're thinking "why would you want to do that?" then what's a better 
solution, assuming:

 *   you may want different versions of ML (v3 vs. v4)
 *   when the taskserver stops, the other taskserver keeps on trucking - 
perhaps in v4 the taskserver is not so difficult to resurrect?


Thanks in advance for your comments.
