Hi, it seems as You cut too many from my post. I wrote before, that
I not any problem with doing that with sysv initscrips - ant it
was services:

- sshd (I want run one instance for ordinal remote users, and second
on different port for administration)

- squid (I want run one instance as transparent proxy and another
on different port as stadalone proxy. This was in squid 2 times,
now at squid 3 this is possible in one instance)

- Firebird and Gupta SQLBase SQL DB servers, when differen instances
was running for different purposes

- perhaps some others...

I do not know where you're going with your question - I know that
I can do with systemd units too and I'm doin this. But the core of
the problem is elsewhere - systemd seem be darkly big, complex,
unstable, as Linux will be evolving it perhaps will require
continuing support - it's all far from the Unix systems principles.
IMHO
