Forgive me, there are so many threads on the Moment, and searching for my specific question didn't yield anything significant.. .so there are two questions:
1. Can you add multiple music libraries to the Moment? (I have a Server, my Mac, and my wife's Mac which are both running Twonky)
2. What happens to the Moment (does it have to begin re-harvesting, or something else), if, for example. the server has to restart, or if a Mac goes to sleep, and it is reawakened? Does the Moment recognize a "re-connection" or does it begin the harvesting process again and becomes out of commission for a time?
Thank you!

No. You can only have one NAS library at a time.

My experience (running latest beta) is that Moment is very resilient now when it comes to how the NAS and server behaves. It certainly wakes my NAS up with no problems.

BS Moment is reactive to DLNA content change, but not sure if a DLNA server being "off " for a sensible time triggers any harvest when back on the network. I'll test with the latest beta and let you know.

As pointed out by Hiort, you cannot add multiple DLNA servers to the Moment setup, but ...... you can either leverage the App to stream music form any other DLNA server (tested with a Synology DLNA server in my network while Twonky is my main DLNA server configured in the Moment), but in this case you lose the benefit of the Moment features e.g. MoodWheel, Search, Collection browsing, etc..... or you can leverage Twonky aggregation feature that would surely achieve what you are looking for, and in this case, I guess you'll not lose any of the Moment features as one Twonky server would aggregate the collections of the other Twonky servers and expose them to the Moment like one collection.
