When you add a new MQTT node and edit its properties, the 'server' option provides a list of MQTT Broker configurations. Each configuration represents a single connection to the broker that will be shared by all flow nodes using that configuration.

If you want one particular node to have a different Broker configuration, select 'Add new mqtt-broker...' from the list of brokers and click the button next to the list. This will create a new broker configuration for that node.
