Zebra: Multiple instances and routing between instances?

Is it possible to run multiple instances of the zebra routing software
on linux? And is there a way to have those multiple virtual router
instances to talk with each other? The goal would be to set up say
eight instances of zebra on one linux server in order to facilitate
labbing out OSPF for example.

Thanks.

I'm almost sure that it could not be used like this. You should try
some virtualisation instead. For example see this url: http://user-
