You'll have to use different MNLDaemons for each given config file
since you can only specify one config per running MNLDaemon.
Additionally, way that MNLDaemon works is that it will save its
listening port number to a file (MNLDaemon.sock) -- even if you
renamed MNLDaemon to something else, it still saves it in the local
directory as MNLDaemon.sock .  (Maybe a note for a future release of
MNL)

Since you can't trace on loopback, you'll have to generate the data
running MNLDaemon on different computers -- and even if you're using
the same directory replicated across different systems, you'll have to
use a different directory.
