1 Physical Machine - 2 Server Definitions

I have one physical machine acting as an agent. There are two server definitions for this machine. I ran across some documentation which has an illustration of this. Each server definition has its own collector, selector and server authorization. The agent is running on a Windows XP machine.

Is it really necessary to have two separate server authorizations (requiring separate users and passwords)? I'm having difficulty getting the second server definition to work. When started, the project just sits there "waiting on server".

Can two jobs actually run on a Windows XP machine with different users at the same time?

Thanks,

We do this occasionally when we use a server (for example) for both java and .NET builds. It allows us to create a distinct Environment Group for each server relevant to the platform being built rather than mixing it all into one Environment Group for a single server. We have done it both ways, with a different Server Auth for each Server and with the same Server Auth.
