Re: can you run two servers on one machine
Short answer is no.
Long answer is you can if you modify both the server and boot loader to use different ports. You would also need to use a separate database for each server to prevent accidental mixing of data.
Another option would be to run one server on a VM with the network adapter set to "bridged" mode instead of NAT and access it via its unique LAN IP for local play. You could put together a pretty minimal linux VM within a couple of hours that would run darkstar!
