No, your right. Only one application can listen on one Socket (IP:Port).
The problem was that IIS grabs all the addresses so it looked like when it
was listening on one address the application would listen to all. This is
the case but not because ports are Application dependant, as I thought.
Apache will do the same thing. If you don't define a particular Address, it
will listen on all address on the machine. This would conflict with IIS
which would grab all the addresses. This is solved by using httpcfg to
exclude the address you want to have Apache listen to.
The problem is that it doesn't work completely as documented but close.
Thanks,
Tom
