Or you can use labeled values so that a single TCPIP DATA file
is used for all stacks, and a SET CPUID changes the default stack.
(or directory entry).  We run many (>>2) TCPIP stacks all off of one
TCPIP DATA file.

If you do go the multiple TCPIP DATA files, before you get a thrashing,
I would reccomend using the :exit to copy it to the A-disk rather
than simply placing it on the A-disk, or modifying the PROFILE EXEC
to do the work.  (You could also have the exit zap the file name in
the module to TCPIP TCPIP2, but that is left as an exercise for the
reader)
