[LDM #XJI-745134]: rpc.ldmd listen on multiple port and multiple queue - reg.

The LDM system is designed around the assumption that each LDM installation has 
one and only one product-queue.

While it is possible to run multiple instances of an LDM system on a single 
host (see 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-6.9.7/basics/multiple_ldms.html>),
 it's not recommended because doing so is 1) more complicated than running a 
single LDM with multiple feeds; 2) less efficient than a single LDM with 
multiple feeds; and 3) requires downstream LDM-s to know the non-standard port 
number of the non-standard upstream LDM-s.

I strongly recommend that you reconsider the reasons for doing this.
