argus and multiple links

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Chris,
Yes, indeed, multiple -S options will do the
trick.  To test this out, be sure and enable printing
of the source ID, so you can tell which record
is coming from what argus.  Use the -i option, or
modify the .rarc file:

RA_PRINT_ARGUSID=yes.

The only limitation to this feature is that you only
get one filter for the whole group, as the ra* client
will send the same singular filter to all the argi.
