That's prob the best way to do it, and given the explicit vm settings
avail in the 6.7 series very likey to work well.

RANK is a def. no no for non intrusiveness as David has pointed out...

I don't know if it is possible but throwing the idea out in case you
find the vm solution isn't right for your needs,. Run two condor
masters with seperate config files thus firing up entirely seperate
startd's.
