Hi,

Is there a recommended way, in FreeBSD, to start two instances of a
given service?

For the default, I have most of the option in /etc/rc.conf and
eventually some configuration file in /usr/local/etc.

OK, I could create an alternate configuration file, but what to put in
/etc/rc.conf?

Before hacking it my own way, I'd like to know if there is any
recommended policy in FreeBSD.

Best regards,

Olivier
