[Oisf-users] best method to monitor two NIC's on same box

Greetings programs!

I'm new to suricata, but a longtime veteran of NSM.   Due to some recent
excitement at work I got suricata working as a standalone and then as part
of the smoothsec distro.    I'm happily processing away on 8 cores at
low-medium utilization.   I just discovered that we have to pull another
SPAN (traffic can't be added to the first) for monitoring.   What is the
best methodology to support this in suricata.   I poked around, but no docs
or postings seem to discuss this issue.  Can I add a second NIC to the
single instance?  Do I need to have two installations side by side?   Or
just a second suricata.yaml and set of startup scripts?

Forgive me if I've missed something obvious, please help!
