Can you add another ethernet card to the workstation? With another IP
address you can run two copies of Apache, both listening to the same port
number (I think). See pp 39 - 41 of O'Reilly & Associates Apache The
Definitive Guide (ISBN 1-56592-250-6).
If you send me a private email, I'd be glad to fax you a copy of those
pages.
