Yes, you can have different IDS installations on one box. I recommend to install IDS always into a version directory, like /opt/informix.940fc6 or /opt/informix.10fc9 . Copy or move the onconfig-file and the sqlhosts file to the new INFORMIXDIR (I prefer to have only one sqlhosts file and to have only symbolic links in $INFORMIXDIR/etc pointing to it.) When starting an instance you must set the environment variable INFORMIXDIR and the PATH variable to the appropriate directory.
