Hi Weasel,
many relay operators run multiple tor instances to overcome certain limitations. Currently the official deb packages do not come with an easy configurable way to run multiple tor instances.
I created a ticket [1] and wrote a patch [2] to add such a functionality to the debian package while preserving the current behavior.
A similar enhancement got submited to the RPM packages and is now shipped in RPMs since tor 0.2.6.4-rc [3].
It would be great if you could find some time to review and comment on #14995 - before tor 0.2.6.x gets released.
thanks! Nusenu
