To my knowledge installing 4 network sensors (NS) on one machine is not a problem. If I remember correctly, ISS will support up to two instances of NS on one box; but, remember, for every instance of NS you install, you need to have the minimum RAM and disk space as defined by ISS in their system requirements.
Also, if you are in the T & E stage, make sure you have a good traffic generator, i.e. Smartbits, and attack platform. I would hammer the machine at different traffic rats because, depending on which hardware platform you choose, system resources could be an issue. I wish ISS would publish the hardware specs that they used in their multiple instance testing. We were also looking into installing multiple instances of NS to cut down on hardware costs, but in the end, we went with one instance per machine due to the single point of failure. As cheap as Sun hardware is, it just made more sense for us to go the single instance route.
