how to do multiple installations of membase on a single machine
I need to use a few memcached buckets for caching some small data( less than 64 MB) and a few to cache larger datasets. For this I decided create a cluster with just one node to cache small datasets and another cluster with 3-4 machines for larger datasets. This will make a better use of my RAM. Now in case I need to have the single node membase to run on one of the machines that hosts a membase node of 4 node membase cluster, I will need to make sure that I can run two instances of membase on one machine. I am unable to do so now with following error :

I can't find a config file that can be changed to rename ns servers or whatever that is needed changing. Can you please tell me how I can do multiple membase installs.
thanks!
Unfortunately it's not as easy as it would look...and not a supported configuration to run multiple instances of Membase on a single node.
I'll see if our engineers can chime in here with some instructions, but I would highly advise against going down this line.
Multiple buckets within a single cluster, and segregating your nodes for specific applications would be a better approach, IMHO.
