user29980: When running bitcoind on testnet, can I put its configuration settings in a separate bitcoin.conf file from the "real" bitcoin.conf file?  I would like to be able to run two nodes concurrently, one on the live network and one on the test network, each with its own configuration settings.

user5757: By default bitcoind will look for the file bitcoin.conf in its datadir directory, whether running on testnet or mainnet.  But you could use the -conf option when starting one or both of the daemons, to point it to a different file.
