The headache is that testing anything more complex than loopback implies you kick off a remote with -server and then pound on that remote it from the client/framework. Perhaps if we spun up parallel instances in the same port-ordered manner, but those instances were truly distinct configs? (These need distinct var/ directories/pid files etc, of course.)
