is another master still running

I'm trying to run two instances of cyrusimap for configuration
purposes to avoid destroying vendor supplied functionality on one IP
while I utilize upstream functionality on the another IP.

While I can specify the alternate config file to use, it seems I have
an issue with a pid file.

Here's the log error:
Jun 1 05:23:22 dellc master[2601]: cannot get exclusive lock on
pidfile (is another master still running?)
Jun 1 05:23:22 dellc master[2601]: exiting

How do I specify an alternate pid file to avoid the conflict or is
there another/better solution for this??

I made the assumption that the default config file was cyrus.conf.

cyrus is started with the following command through launchd: (This
is how my vendor starts things)
/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/master -c /etc/cyrusalt.conf

Launchd is a daemon startup processing environment and it does
allowse some flexibility of adding additional arguments.

Here's the current launchd script for the alt config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://
www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
     <key>Label</key>
     <string>edu.cmu.andrew.cyrusalt.master</string>

     <false/>
     <key>Program</key>

         <string>/etc/cyrusalt.conf</string>
     </array>
     <key>ServiceIPC</key>
     <false/>
</dict>
</plist>

Here is the /etc/cyrusalt.conf file: (hope this is correct)
# standard standalone server implementation

   # do not delete this entry!
   recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"

   # this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE

}

}
