I ran across these instructions on how to install multiple agents on a single 
server since I need to monitor multiple IP’s

http://www.immutablesecurity.com/index.php/2010/10/22/2woo-day-6-running-multiple-instances-on-one-box/comment-page-1/#comment-1043

I posted my problem in the comment area on this guy’s page but I guess he did 
not like the question and deleted my comment.

In any event – his page refers to the following:

Now, go into the <remote> section of ossec.conf in each remote instance and 
configure the <local_ip> option to point to the correct IP. Make sure each 
instance points to a unique IP.

I can’t find any section in the ossec-conf file on my agent servers to place 
what is referred to above.

ANY IDEAS?

In addition his instructions go on to supply a startup script which fails as 
follows, but I think it’s failing because the additional instances on the 
agents are not bound to specific Ip addresses.

Can anyone give me some help here>
