Advice on how to run multi instances

My Dev wants to run multiple instances of mongo on one box, only way I can see to do this is multiple mongo cookbooks with diff attribute names?

Thoughts?

Thank you,

You probably want to extract your current mongodb recipe into a
LWRP[1] or resource definition (LWRP recommended). Then you can just
pass in the things that are different about them, (on-disk locations,
port numbers, etc.) without having to have several nearly-identical
cookbooks.
