Yes, but you couldn't have _two_ mail server tasks both listening to 
the _same (standard) port_ on the same IP address; they would conflict.

Well, I'll admit that you don't have the need for two _mail_ daemons,
but you get the idea, especially for (hosted) Web servers.
If you want both servers on the same IP address and port, it's not
going to work ... and you couldn't know what page to return anyway ...
