I advice against doing this. Many web applications makes life very
complicated if running on different ports than the official port. This
because the applicaitons (and web servers) sometimes need to render
absolute URLs to themselves and this includes the port number..

Use one IP per application. Much cleaner.

In both cases use cache_peer to route the requests to the correct web
server application.
