[Serusers] RTPProxy and SER, Multiple Interface Server

Hello Greger. Thank you so much for your answer. Right now I'm trying to 
layer SER in multiple instances as you recommend.

Now the approach for this will be to install multiple and different SER 
Servers in a different path on the machine and started each SER 
individually for each network to be bridged with it's own configuration 
file?

Can I run multiple SER servers with one installation and just add -f 
/new_conf_file/ to each instance?

Right now the only way to make SER work between multiple interfaces is 
to enable the mhomed=1 option. Since I have 6-8 network interfaces(2 for 
each network) can I expect problems if all ser instances will have the 
mhomed=1 parameter?

I have seen that the use of multiple instances is considered for SER, 
but there is no documentation for that, can someone please help me 
pointing out which is the best way to run ser on this environment?

Thanks in advanced
