You can use multiple servers by providing explicit livereload ports:

gulp.task('webserver', function() {
    gulp.src('./public')
        .pipe(webserver({
            host: 'localhost',
            port: 7000,
            fallback: 'index.html',
            livereload: {enable: true, port: 2345}
        }));
    gulp.src('./public/build')
        .pipe(webserver({
            host: 'localhost',
            port: 7001,
            fallback: 'index.html',
            livereload: {enable: true, port: 2346}
        }));
});

You have to add the enable flag or the livereload server will be disabled due to the way options are merged.

Right now I'm having trouble getting multiple livereload servers to actually reload, but I suspect that is because I'm trying to watch the same folder twice. I believe it works fine if you're serving two different folders. Edit: fixed in newer version

I have the following problem: browser tries to inject livereload script using url with default port 35729, although the specific port was provided. I also checked that node is listening on provided port. Here is the code snippet:

gulp.task('webserver-dev', function() {
    gulp.src('./')
        .pipe(webserver({
            livereload: {enable: true, port: 2346},
            directoryListing: false,
            open: true,
            port: 9000,
            host: '10.1.1.17',
            fallback: 'index.html'
        }));
});
gulp.task('webserver', function() {
    gulp.src('./build')
        .pipe(webserver({
            livereload: {enable: true, port: 2345},
            directoryListing: false,
            open: true,
            host: '10.1.1.17',
            fallback: 'index.html'
        }));
});

Script is trying to inject using url: http://10.1.1.17:35729/livereload.js?snipver=1
Thanks in advance.

Use custom port for livereload is not comfortable. This is good if gulp-webserver increments livereload port when livereload: true

Otherwise, an error with friendly info should be thrown.
(e.g When using multiple livereload servers you must specify a different port number for each of them).
