[Xitami] Multi server issue

[R O]

Ron: 

As everyone keeps trying to say, TCP Port 80 is a product of TCP/IP - not a product of 3Com NIC or BroadBand NIC cards.  Its also NOT a product of Windows or MAC or UNIX or a router.  TCP Ports can only exist IF an IP address is present.  Each IP has its own 64,000 range of Ports. 

In Apache: http://modperlbook.org/html/12-1-mod_perl-Deployment-Overview.html

The section that starts with "One Machine, Two IP Addresses"....when they say Machine/Computer, they mean NIC.
