Multiple Emacs servers

I'm trying to setup multiple Emacs servers, following instructions at http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Server.html

The problem is that M-x set-variable server-name foo doesn't seem to have an effect on the server name after starting, the server is still registered with default name "server". Also, I don't see an option for server name in daemon mode. Any ideas what's wrong?

I'm using version GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2011-06-07

You have to set server-name before calling server-start. With daemon mode, you can use --daemon=SERVERNAME. See http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Initial-Options.html#Initial-Options
