If you have mutliple chroot's they have to listen to different IP addresses if they want to listen to the same Port number. Perhaps the really correct term would be: "One chroot Environment per IP" rather then "per server". The whole concept behind this HOWTO is to provide an environment where you can host multiple Web-Servers on one physical machine, one server per customer to be more preceise. This way you can more safly allow the usage of PHP and CGI without having a large impacat on inter-customer-security. Of course, to make this possible, each customer has to have his own IP on the Server. > or is the idea just to run 1 apache in the chroot enviroment.. anyway > removing the posibility of any of the users from doing damage to the > system, while allowing themselves limited ability to damage each > other...

It isn't possible to bind to applications on the same IP _and_ Port number. This is not Apache problem, but a general specification out of the Networking theory where you define the "adress" of an application as pair of IP and Port Number. Live long and prosper!
