Multiple instances of snort on one box?

["Drew Stockman" <Drew.Stockman () cibmis com>]

We are trying to consolidate machines and I am being asked if we can put
all of the snort sensors on one box.  I was just wondering if anyone can
point me in the right direction.  I believe I have to run seperate
instances of Snort listening on different NICs, correct?  Also, what
kind of hardware would it take to replace 3 sensors, each listening to a
T-1 connection?  Is there any documentation out there on setting up a
multiple Snort sensor like this?
