[Boost-users] [Boost.Interprocess] int key and flat_multimap_index

A couple of beginner questions on basic_managed_heap_memory:

1) I want to access elements in the contiguous memory segment by  
using an int key,  rather than a char string. Can I declare something  
like this:

typedef basic_managed_heap_memory <
    int, /* my key is an integer */
    rbtree_best_fit<null_mutex_family>,
    flat_map_index
    >  managed_heap_memory;

I need to lookup objects using an external integer ID but the ID can  
have any value (ie, does not match the 0-N array element order of my  
memory segment).

2) If I want to insert multiple objects with the same char* name (ala  
multimap) can I create a flat_multimap_index?
