Description

Right now, we only can run chisel via one server endpoint.

However, sometimes we need to set up multiple ports that go to different end servers. In this case, we have to run multiple instances of Chisel, which gets very confusing and takes a lot of time to set up.

If we can do a config file with the ability to run multiple endpoint configs on a single instance of Chisel that would be very helpful.

Or even without a config file, perhaps add an option for multiple server sections i.e.
chisel client [options] -S [server] [remote] -S [server2] [remote2]

Research direction

Start by tracing the chisel client command and how its options, server endpoints, and remotes are parsed. Define how multiple server/remote endpoint configurations should be represented and verify that one Chisel instance can run them without requiring separate processes.
