They will not clash or fight with each other trying to be the "master
WINS" if thats what you are asking. :) The reasons that you should not
use more than one is exactly the contrary, both will ignore each other
and clients that register or use one to make a query will not use the
other, ending with only partial knowledge of the neighborhood. (but
seems that its what you want)
About trying to do more than that and disable the broadcast of the
servers, I simply never tried/needed to do anything like that. As I
never saw any reason to do so and as a security measure I don't see it
being all that usefull either.
