I've only been using emacsclient a short while.
I thought maybe I'd like to try having two servers. One with gnus
running and another for some perl scripting I'm working on.
Reading parts of the documentation I see:
(info "(emacs)Emacs Server")
You can run multiple Emacs servers on the same machine by giving
each one a unique "server name", using the variable `server-name'.
For example, `M-x set-variable <RET> server-name <RET> foo <RET>'
sets the server name to `foo'. The `emacsclient' program can
specify a server by name, using the `-s' option (*note emacsclient
Options::).

There are several ways to set it (with --daemon=myname, or --eval, or
M-: (setq ...)), but you're right: the documentation states that it is
settable with set-variable, and it is not. At the very least it should
be
(defvar server-name "server"
"*Name of the server process.")
(put 'server-name 'variable-interactive "M")
if not a defcustom.

I don't see any problem with making server-name a defcustom, so I went
ahead and did that.

We could add a * indeed, although I'm not convinced it's very useful to
set it interactively.

No idea what this does.

That's another option.

From `set-variable':
If variable has a `variable-interactive' property, that is used as if
it were the arg to `interactive' (which see) to interactively read value.
so it would've been better "MIntroduce the server name: " or some such.

Even better, of course.
