So thinking about it a little more, it's likely you can override any 
config variable from netdisco.conf in the handler().

It's unfortunate duplication of course, but that's the way to 
achieve separate network map config etc, if you really want it. The 
two variables I've included in hander() above are the minimum 
required for multiple frontends (in the same Apache2).

Given some thought the dev team could probably come up with 
something more elegant for a future release :-) (a closure?)

HTH,
