It is not currently possible because ipropd-slave maintains an exclusive
lock on the log file thus preventing other writers.  We will consider
taking a more liberal strategy with this lock.  Can you describe your
use case a bit more to help justify this?  Also, can you create an issue
in https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal to track this?
