I don't think it's possible. You can't run the same node in multiple instances. ever. That would lead to forced closes of all channels if there was a slightest difference in their state.
right ! it can't be done by simply running multiple lightning nodes with the same key, that would become a mess some lightning software (Eclair, for example) can be explicitly configured to split a node over multiple servers i don't remember exactly and couldnt find the details yesterday but there are also some approaches possible where the last hop is virtual
hmm, virtual hops, interesting. never heard of it. Thank!
