Is is possible to run multiple instances of kibana, as long as the internal kibana index is set to different values in config.js?

I have just done some custom modifications to the kibana source and would like to deploy it alongside our current kibana install. But I would like to deploy it as source instead of minifying it, thus my question.

Kind Regards,  
Chandra

Yes, that should work just fine.
