In my understanding, the TCPBindSpecific operation would allow two servers
to operated on the same port, assuming they're on two different ethernet
devices. My first attempt did indeed use two different ports, and this
worked. I've tried two different ports with TCPBindSpecific as well, and
this did not work. The extremely confusing thing is that the setup works
fine on crystal0 and crystal1, whereas meth0 does not work, but meth1 does.

As for the data store locations, they are in different places, defined by
the ServerOption blocks underneath.

Thanks!
