[Xitami] Multi server issue

[Paul Reid]

 > You have one NIC. It has one Port 80.

No. The NIC doesn't even know what an IP is, much less a port. If it 
gets a packet it passes it to the TCP/IP service. This examines the IP 
and port, checks a list of what programs have requested to bind to what 
IP:port combinations, and passes the packet to the program indicated.

It isn't a hardware thing. We know that multiple webservers will work 
over one NIC. A second NIC is not the answer and sure will confuse you.

It is possible you found an oversight (bug) in Xitami or your TCP/IP demon.

IMHO it is far more likely a configuration error. Xitami has many ways 
to find configuration data. The default bind is to "All IPs". My 2 cents 
says there is another .CFG file which is binding all IPs to the first 
copy which starts, leaving the second copy stranded.

Use 'netstat -an' to see what IP:ports are "Listening". Since the basic 
netstat may not indicate -which- program is listening, see what it says 
when each server is started alone.
