I suspect that you're hitting (or running close to hitting) an operating system 
limit for the number of possible open sockets (see also 
<http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#scalability>).  You may wish to 
increase this limit, if you can.

Yes, by having each instance use a different RTSP port number.

Yes.  The easiest way to ensure that one particular interface is chosen is to 
make that interface the one for which multicast routing is enabled - i.e., the 
interface that has a route for 224.0.0.0/4
