It is possible to host multiple servers using a single install of Bitfighter. Here is how the official Bitfighter game server is organized:
The main game itself is installed in /home/autotron/bf013 All server-specific data is stored in /home/autotron/servers Each server has its own subfolder, which in turn has a levels and robots subfolders.
So the folder tree looks like this:
/home/autotron/bf013/install stuff <-- SVN code checked out here,
built with dedicated option
servers/classic/levels
robots
usrlevs/levels
robots
botlevs/levels
robots
...
Then, a shell script can be used to launch the servers:
Invalid language.
You need to specify a language like this: <source lang="html4strict">...</source>
Supported languages for syntax highlighting:

When an update to Bitfighter is available, the code can be updated and compiled easily, then the servers can be restarted. The whole upgrade process takes 5 minutes.
