Re: HTTP listening ports and URL questions

I think you answered your own question. I always use a separate IP for
each server so they can be shut down independently.

If need be you can create a server instance to act as a reverse proxy that
sends requests to the host to the proper instance. Of course, that means
another IP address, but not an issue on the i.

I have some questions related to HTTP listening ports and URLs.
I have a current instance listening on port 443, all IPS.

I have a new app going live that we prefer to listen on port 443. It can
listen on a different port, but I've been told that if 443 is not used,
then we must include the port number in the URL.
We would like to have the new app keep the same URL as the old current
app, which is listening on port 80.

So my issue is that I will have two http apps listening on port 443.
Options.
1) Create one http instance for both, using virtual host. The problem with
this option is that when one app needs to be shutdown, we don't wish to
shut down the other app.
2) Have both apps listen on 443, two http instances, different IPs. I'm
leaning towards this solution.
3) Are there others?



Thank You
