Ok, that document is rather Linux specific. But you'll basically have to
either bind slimserver to one IP address (you can create more than one per
machine) or use different ports (which will require to manually configure
the players, too). Run slim.exe --help
FYI I tried to do exactly that and had very little luck. Setting up a
couple of interfaces and starting the servers correctly was easy, but
the Squeezeboxes got very confused seeing two servers with the same
hostname but different IPs. As Windows doesn't allow different
interfaces to have
There's no way for SlimServer to have two libraries. You need to run
two instances of the server and connect the SqueezeBox to one or the
other.
Theoretically, you should be able to easily run two instances of the
server on the same machine by using different IP addresses. In
practice, though,
OK I don't have any problem whatsoever connecting my Squeezeboxen
between multiple physical servers... But how on earth would I make
Slimserver run twice on windows? I can easily enough whack another
network card in and have another interface

If you had enough memory in your server one easy solution would be
installing the free VMWare player and run SlimCD on it (128-/160MB for the
VM could be enough). It would look like a second machine on the network.
I'm doing this all the time when developping. The SB sees both servers and

You don't need more than one
