I see your issue. To the best of my knowledge, it just isn't possible. Like I said, a port maps a connection on an interface to a process: the OS has no way of knowing how to pick a process other than that. The only possible workaround I can think of would be a bit of a doozie: you could write your own sockets application to listen to port 8080, extract the destination IP address from the IP packet, and then forward it along to another process. It actually might not be that hard: you would set up each instance of apache to listen on a different port which only needs to be open locally, and then your multiplexing application could forward it to a specific port. On the other hand, you might be able to set up a "sandbox" apache server that listens on a different port, and do all your testing on that. Then when you're confident any maintenece changes you've made are correct, copy the changes to your real server, and do a quick restart. It only takes a few seconds for the apache server to restart: is that too long to keep all your sites down? -Brian On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 3:55 PM, jwberger <jwberger28@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > They are bound to one interface.
