You can't use this syntax, you can't use more than one
interface for the switch -i. If you are running Linux
you can use the interface "any" to ask snort to listen
on all interfaces.

Or, alternatively, bond them together, then use '-i bond0'. Jose's suggestion is best if you want to use different configurations for each instance of snort (and even better if you have multiple CPUs in your sensor host), using bonding is better if you're happy with a single configuration and you want better tracking of the state of connections. Swings n' roundabouts.

Best Regards,
Alex.
