A server can only have have a single socket binding group. The domain 
can have multiple socket binding groups so different server groups can 
use different socket binding groups. But each server group (and 
therefore each server in a managed domain) can only have a single group.

This not supported.

That kind of usage wasn't the intention. To support that there would 
need to be some sort of attribute on the socket binding group indicating 
whether it's enabled. Only one could be enabled.

I suggest using system properties in the socket-binding elements to 
alter the bindings for different scenarios.
