Oh yes and avoid auto running addons, remove the auto run option and have them
configured manually else every server will end up with all the random addon's
installed running.

We use symlinking to run a bunch of servers off of the same files. It works
like a charm and allows every instance to have it's own config and log
directories no problem.
This should work on Windows aswell.
Just as a heads-up: SourceMod needs it's own copy for every server you are
running (if you're planning to use it). Otherwise horrible things will happen :)

Subject: [hlds] Multiple Servers From Same SRCDS Installation = Bad?
I've read this on lots of forums but no one seems to have any concrete
reason why this is bad:
Is it true that running multiple servers from the same SRCDS installation
is bad? Does it cause stability problems? Performance problems? Lag? File
corruption?
No, you need to ensure that things are configured properly but you won't get
any stabilty problems.
Performance should actually be better as it makes better use of filesystem
cache
and dll cache in the OS.
We use this to run hundreds of servers.
The only issue we have are:-
1. demo's don't allow you specify a location to save them
2. configs need prefixing manually unlike other games which have a "base
path"
command line option which makes everything very easy.
We've raised these enhancements a few times here before as it would things
so much easier if they where added :)
