Post From: Sub Instances Connect To The Wrong

The connection between an instance and a sub-instance is controlled by the port numbers that are being used between them. The IP Address is set to the loopback address for the local computer (127.0.0.1), which is why the port numbers are what matters. If the sub-instances have the DTC Server starting, and they have the same port numbers defined, then it's possible that a sub-instance will try to connect to that other sub-instance rather than the main instance. It would end up being a race condition as to which one it would connect to, so there is no way to know what exactly would occur. In the end, for your setup, you need to have a main instance with the DTC Server started and every other installation/instance needs to NOT be running a DTC Server.
