Multiple-onlines with shared disk?

We have two online licenses at this point (for the same machine): A development licencse and a runtime license. Indeed, we have two sets of tapes, serial numbers, etc. I read the section about multiple residency in the online admin manual, and it makes clear how to get two completely separate servers going, but what I'd like to do (because of various contraints) is *share* the data between the servers. The manual doesn't mention this, only obliquely mentions that one would want separate chunks. Ok, but, suppose I *want* to share the chunks (mainly since we have about 7Gb of data on 10Gb of disk space; so we can't have two complete copies, even if we wanted to, which we don't, since the development code needs to see the changes the production side sees, etc. etc. etc.). So my question is, will the world END if I share the chunks, rootdbs and all? (I called tech-support, by the way, and TSMan's answer was he "thought so", they can share, but he didn't really seem to quite know what he was talking about judging from the rest of his answer. I suppose I could pursue it further there, but I'm much more a fan of the net for genuine answers.) -- Andrew Burt aburt@du.edu "But if he was dying he wouldn't bother to carve "Aaaaargh", he'd just say it."
