Can there be multiple instances of TFS Workgroup on the Same Servers?

We have two development workgroups that manage thier own projects and development. Each group has VSTSuite which comes with the TFS workgroup edition. We would like to be able to use the same Web server and SQL Server for seperate instances of these TFS licenses. We are wanting to isolate our projects and management.

Each group has five or less users and the Production License does not make sense here.

CAN THIS BE DONE and HOW

TIA

    The easiest way to get this done would be to have one or both of them have their TFS instances in a virtual PC or virtual server.

    Trying to get them on the same IIS/SQL instances wouldn't work, as we only support the default instance for SQL, and so the 2 TFS instances would be pointing at the same TFS databases in SQL. There are other problems as well (Sharepoint configuration, for instance), but if you can go the VPC route things should be easier, and it also helps in ensuring isolation between the groups.

    Thank you for your clarification on the interaction. The Virtual Server will probably be the solution we will go with.
