A possible solution to this is to enable polling on your network
devices.  Depending on what OS you use, this can be easy or potentially
difficult.   If it's FreeBSD 4.8 and above or Solaris 8 or above... I
have some config stuff that may help you out.

Also:

Ensure that you have enough CPU power to handle the added load of
running 4 instances of Snort. In my environment, I have 4 interfaces,
but reserve 1 exclusively for management because oft-times, I've been
unable to even SSH into the interface that Snort is running on.

You'll have to run a unique instance of snort for each interface...

I currently have a Linux box with 4 NICs.  How do I configure it so that
I can monitor each NIC separately with its own conf file?  I have
different subnets that I want to monitor. 
Thanks in Advance!
