I suspect that you have to run either one barnyard version for
each snort. Otherwise: How will you separate the different 
Interfaces?

Oh, you can even use FLoP to write the alerts to a database:

   http://www.geschke-online.de/FLoP/

It does nearly the same es barnyard except that there are no files
created on the sensor. The alerts are written directly via an unix
socket to the program which forwards the alerts to the database.

Best regards

Dirk
