Greetings, everyone.  Since I am using 85% of JACK DSP in my primary production box, while using 14% of the CPU and 1/8 of the RAM according to htop, it appears that I need to develop a way to move forward :-)  It is very clear from the excellent Patrick Shirkey's input that one can use netjack to chain any combination of motherboards each running JACK; I would like to use the power of my box to do the same internally. 

I have taken a number of hours over the last few days in testing.  Thus far, my impression is that netjack1, netjack2, and jacktrip are explicitly not set up for this.  Using jack2, netjack1 and jacktrip worked fine for one client/slave, but a second one froze both, and netjack2 did not work at all, I found a web reference stating that multijack explicitly does not do localhost unless explicitly set to do so at the TCP/IP stack programming level.  Using jack1, netjack1 did not connect at all, so I decided to halt for now and ask Those Who Know :-)

So far, the only clearly workable option, has been to try the Docker lightweight virtualizer, and run each JACK server and related application chain in its own container.  Anyone have better ideas?
