All is possible in theory but none of it can be done with Fb1 under
Win32. Depending on which bit you want to achieve would require some
low-level work in the engine to support the changes.

The only thing that the current build supports is specification of a
different port to listen on. However, you cannot run multiple servers
under Win32 because of named pipe conflicts.

Basically, the current design will not support what you want to do but
it could be changed if that is what was required.
