Re: Snort with two instances

That would depend on the location of your rules files.  If both of your
snort-eth?.conf files point to the same rules directory, yes.  

If you have RULE_PATH defined the same in both files, they are sharing
the same rules.  This would also apply for SO_RULE_PATH and
PREPROC_RULE_PATH, if you have them defined.
