The manpage tinc.conf(5) says: "Each tinc daemon should have a name that
is unique in the network which it will be part of." Tinc does see it as
an error if two tinc daemons have the same name, but there is no way to
resolve the issue. Both tinc daemons will start fighting for their
resources, broadcasting their claims to all other daemons. This is what
causes all daemons to slow down. The solution is to follow the manpage
and make sure each tinc daemon is uniquely named.
