Yeah, that's certainly an option, and one we may very well decide on.  It
has the advantage that it separates the 'system Apache' from the 'user
Apache', and the two never mix, stomp on each other, &c.

On the other hand, that sort of solution says to me that something is
broken in the design of the configuration of the system.  It's inelegant.
I shouldn't *need* to have two instances of Apache running, but instead I
should be able to have a configuration that neatly partitions services from
each other.  Cf inetd, which is essentially the same thing, except it
doesn't provide HTTP support.
