Yes, but as soon as you have two cache managers in the same VM you are 
screwed, right? We would end up with two channels with the same name. 
Everything would work as far as JGroups is concerned but logs would be 
useless.

Don't forget that channel names need to be unique per JVM and across JVMs!

The only solution I can think of is to add API that allows naming of 
CacheManagers. That name could be reused to name channel as well.
