i have created two logstash instances on same machine i was able to start the instances with assigning different ports for two instances.

iam trying to achieve to give the ip address to both the instances but when i assign ip address iam getting cannot bind the address error.

any idea how to get assign two different ip address to both the instances so that i can use a load balancer to forward the request to both the instances
