How run multiple MobiLink services?

I have one MobiLink service running on our server, but would
like to set up another one for other users to do some
testing with. Isn't this possible? For some reason, I seem
unable to have 2 MobiLink services "Started" concurrently.
Thanks.

Each must be on a different port:

dbmlsrv9 -x tcpip(port=2439) ...
dbmlsrv9 -x tcpip(port=60000) ...

Once you change the default port (2439), you must specify which port to
use when you create your synchronization subscription in the remote.
That way it knows which ML server to connect to.

See:

dbmlsync extended options
CommunicationAddress
(adr) extended option

Along with David's response, realize that if these two ML servers are
connecting to the same consolidated database (using the same user
account/same ML_* tables), then the "test" server will actually be
modifying the "production" data. So you either need a test consolidated
or you need to set up test tables within that same consolidated.
