Currently is is not possible to have two jabberd 1.4 session managers 
online at the same time serving users for the same domain. The problem 
is that with the current implementation, users of the one instance would 
not see users online at the other instance.
I am working on a possibility to cluster the session manager (which is 
the last component of jabberd14, that does not support this already), 
but it's not yet available.
