Can you run 2 Emby servers on different hardware but use the same port

On the same internet connection too.

Yes and No.  Yes both can coexist, but you can only port forward to one of them.

You can run many different apps through one port like 443 if using a domain and they each have their own A record such as emby1.domain.com, emby2.domain.com, emby3.domain.com plus any other others like www, dsm, clouddrive, storage, etc...

The trick to doing that is run a reverse proxy receiving all traffic on the 443 port which then looks at the address and forwards it internally on your LAN to the proper machine/port combination.  This is pretty common.

The second way without using a reverse proxy is to simply allow each Emby server to use different remote ports which are each opened on your router and forwarded to the proper machine/port combination.

In my setup I run one on Windows and easy to change the port to 8097 os similar and the other on a Synology nas DS218+ however the performance from the Wibows machine knocks the nas for dead (Intel i7)

Couldn't wait a few more days to make a dead even 5 year thread bump?  How far back did you browse do dig up this dead horse?
