Multiple network segment monitor with Snort

Hi,I'm planning to deploy a lab network where there will coexist some manageable layer 2 switches with VLANs and trunk ports to bind a Snort sensor to. The problem is that we're short on budget and I wan't to deploy various Snort sensors at different network zones.
Can I use the same physical machine (with as many ethernet cards as sensors I want to deploy) and use various and independent snort processes? I neither know if only one Snort process can control different network cards at the same time. And yes, I know that I can hog the sensor, but the networks are going to have little traffic (at least right now!).
Thank you very much in advance. Regards, Sergio Pozo --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Captus Networks IPS 4000Intrusion Prevention and Traffic Shaping Technology to: - Instantly Stop DoS/DDoS Attacks, Worms & Port Scans
