When writing the Cron application for gaeutilities I ran into the need to ran two instances, as the dev_appserver can't make a request to itself. All I did was run the second instance on a different port, didn't have to mess with the address. Mind you, it didn't make a lot of requests to the datastore for the purposes I was using it for, but I had no problems with both instances using the same datastore.
