I think additional instances can be a good thing in certain circumstances ( if they do not result in stale ODBC connections ), and will be a better thing in 6.1 when you can configure them in pools against separate input nodes.
Lacking that, it seems useful to me that I can connect a specific number of threads to a particular q prior to 6.1 albeit at an unknown ( but probably not crippling?) cost in EG resources by using extra MQInput nodes. It seems to me I should be able to use this to mitigate against the risk of thread starvation, prior to 6.1.
I will enquire of IBM if the connections issues in the technote are fixed in 6.1.
Apparently the problems with ODBC timeouts for additional instances detailed in the technote are NOT fixed in 6.1, we've requested they get fixed in a 6.1 maintanenace release.
