Using different bind address (the -b option to run.bat) is the best option
if you can do it.

A nice feature of windows I've found is that you can create ips in the
loopback range automatically; so you can start up a series of jbosses
with (for example)

	run -c jboss1 -b 127.0.0.1
	run -c jboss2 -b 127.0.0.2
	run -c jboss3 -b 127.0.0.3

and so on.  This only helps you if the jboss does not
need to be connected to remotely; ie. it's good for
development.

On unix you need to 'plumb' the interfaces explicitly.
