Does anyone know if the steps in this article:

It can. One way is to install one forwarder with a package based manager, and the use the tarballs and just unzip and go.

cp splunkforwarder.tgz /tmp && cd /tmp tar xvfz splunkforwarder.tgz mv splunkforwarder/ /opt/splunkforwarder_second_instance /opt/splunkforwarder_second_instance/bin/splunk start
