Hi Pascal,

thanks for your feedback.

Ok, my take away here is that I won't be able to get any
multi-instance support into OpenBSD's tor rc.d script.

So I guess the next best option for ansible-relayor will indeed be
to configure multiple services and copy the rc.d script of your
package once per tor instance tor0,tor1,... plus one line per tor
instance in /etc/rc.conf.local
as described previously here:

https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2015-March/006526.html

ansible-relayor takes care of this and generates torrc files
accordingly (separate datadir, separate logfiles, ...).

regards,
Nusenu
