If one Apache is listening to port 80 then no others can. This is why
you will get an error message when you try to start an Apache when
there is already one listening on the port(s) that the newly starting
Apache tries to bind to. If you want to run more than one Apache
server instance then they all have to listen on different ports. So
you could for example do some URL-based redirecting with a proxy
listening on 80 and handing requests to other instances which are
listening on other ports, or something like that - a bit like having a
light/heavy server pair (see the Guide) but for different reasons.

'Trust' and 'Safe' are interesting concepts on the Web.
'Suspect' and 'dangerous' are more likely.
