*Physically* there is still just one sensor.  *Logically*, there's two
now... they just happen to occupy the same physical space.

I'll echo the advice of others and say that most front-ends handle this
gracefully.  Are you using custom processing scripts that make
hard-coded assumptions about the sensor-id, or something standard?  All
of the front-ends I've tested handle multiple sensors fairly
transparently.  I didn't even notice the difference migrating from 1 to
4 and then to 5 snort-procs with either Base or Placid.

Cheers,
