Is it possible to run two bitcoind, in testnet and mainnet at same time?

I am syncing a testnet node right now because I am in a hurry to test an application that uses the node's rpc.

But I would like to let this web app running calling rpc on testnet while the mainnet is synchronizing, in the same computer..

I would have tested it already, but the testnet is still syncing.. have some one tried this before? if yes, would the testnet daemon make the mainnet daemon synchronization a lot more slow?

I would think you could just start bitcoind a second time with a different conf file and datadir.

How much this affects your synching speed depends a lot on the available resources on your node.

Thank you guys. It is definitely possible.. Even with 2GB of ram, I saw no big problems regarding sync performance
