I think you missed the point. you would have 2 apaches running, that is correct
but the trick is to set it up so that they use the same document roots
for each site that you are trying to convert.

the beauty of this is that you can literally run the same site in php5 and php4
simulaneously with urls something *like*:

php4.mydevsite.com
php5.mydevsite.com	(ProxyPassed to 'inner' apache)


were HOSTS file contains:

127.0.0.1 php4.mydevsite.com php5.mydevsite.com

and both outer and inner apache's use the same docroot for the given site.

obviously it's just one way of setting up a comfortable dev environment - as long
as you have something that allows you to doo your tihng without to much pain then thats
the main thing :-)
