Hi Alicia
standard pf_ring clustering is not supported by dna, and you cannot open the 
same dna interface from multiple application. 
This means the you have 2 options:
1. use RSS and open a queue per snort instance
2. use the Libzero DNA Cluster (see pfdnacluster_master app in examples), and 
open a consumer queue per snort instance

Best Regards
Alfredo
