I'm also running a multi-daemon mfs (actually several mfs clusters with 2 mfs 
processes on each server).

You shoudn't need to modify mfscgiserv, you can simply pass some parameters 
like masterport via your browser, e.g.:

http://mymfs.my.lan:9425/mfs.cgi&&masterport=9413

Basically, add "&mfsmasterport=NNNN" at the end pf ypur URLs.

I have a single mfscgiserv running under apache and a simple html pointing to 
the different master/port combinations to make it even easier.
