I'll agree with Lee. Two processes can't bind to the same port. If you 
involve a thrid process, you might be able to have it listen on 80, then 
rewrite and proxy the requests to the 2nd and 3rd processes listening on 
ports other than 80.

But I don't get why you'd want to do this. Unless you are trying to 
seperate users (which suexec does pretty well), I've always been able to 
configure virtual hosts to do anything I need.
