Is it supported to have multiple instances of the radvd daemon running at the same time? #207

Hello,

Sorry if this is wrong place to ask this but I couldn't find any generic discussion board.

I'd like to know if is it supported to have multiple instances of the radvd running, each with it's own config file and it's own PID file. The usecase is e.g. a system with multiple components, each in control of some interfaces. If there can be only one instance of the daemon the components would have to merge their config files with is error prone and race prone.

So is it supported? Will the below be enough for this support?

I'll answer myself:

Yes, it is supported, and yes, this separate pidfile is enough.
