Alan:

        Thanks for the quick response!

        In reality, you confirmed my feeling: there is nothing special in
doing this. Yet, I am receiving an argument from the VM systems programmer
here about how much needs to be done in order to accomplish this.

        Thanks for the confirmation.

1. Clone the application server you need, too (e.g. FTPSERV2)
2. Modify the PROFILE TCPIP, changing the OBEY, PORT, and AUTOLOG 
statements to point to the second set of application servers.
3. Ensure the second set of application servers are using a copy of TCPIP 
DATA that contains "TCPIP TCPIP2" (for example) so that they use the 
second stack.  You may also wish to change the HOSTNAME.

If the OSA connection (LCS mode only, no OSD!) is "live", then you'll also 
need to change IP addresses.
