It is possible (listening on different ports is an obvious
requirement). Later versions (2.1.x IIRC) are much easier to install
with different service names.

I would actually do some profiling though with Classic Server. It may
not be as terrible as you are worried about, and it is a heck of a lot
less effort on your part.
