When you create additional tor instances on the same host you can treat
their torrc files individually with two exceptions:
- don't run more than 2 instances per IP
- (and obviously do not use same ports to bind to / data dirs)

Sharing is fine if you do not run more than 2 instances per IP.

Great, that is the most important point when running multiple instances
on a single host.


If you run more than a single host you might also want to look into
something that does all that the work (and more) for you
