Hello list,
running here 3 gateways serving two communities. Nearly everything is duplicated/separated logically: fastd, bridges, routing tables, batman domains, etc.
Operating System is currently Ubuntu 14.04.
alfred: Installed: 2014.1.0-1 Candidate: 2014.1.0-1 Version table: *** 2014.1.0-1 0 500 http://apt.rfc2324.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Guess what: We have the requirement to run one alfred instance for each batman domain. What is the suggested way to achieve this?
a tangential question:
given you have a big enough hardware (since you mention ubuntu 14.04) have you considered turning it into a "hardnode" and using any kind of virtualization technology? openvz, lxc...
it would help with isolation and simplify things in the long run (including having two alfred instances)
cheers!

For instance, I assume that this isn't intended by design because /etc/default/alfred in conjunction with the init script aren't multiple interface aware.
From our POV the preferred solution for this would be to patch the init script in order to support multiple interfaces by reading this from /etc/default/alfred, like:
INTERFACES="bridge_one bridge_two" BATMANIFS="bat_one bat_two"
Just to fork multiple separated processes.
Maybe this is solved elsewhere and we didn't get it, yet.
Please give us your thoughts and hopefully a solution to this issue.
