    The second instance youre trying to launch is using the first instance's 
    config.
    Error initializing source driver; source='src', id='src#0'
     From that message you can see its trying to initialize the source 
    callced 'src'. In your second config, your source is called 's_node', 
    the first instance is called 'src'. Make sure youre passing the proper 
    '-f' option to syslog-ng when you start it.
    
Pretty sure I am. 
    
It's the second config (the one for the "main" instance) which has a
source called "src".  It's the proxy one (the first one) which has a
source called "s_node".

The start for the proxy uses -f <special-proxy-conf> whereas the start
for the main one just lets it default to syslog-ng.conf.
